New crime prevention packs and a special crime prevention website have been created to help people in Northamptonshire protect themselves from burglary.

The materials are part of the Force’s Operation Crooked, the campaign that makes burglary a top priority for the Force.
Northamptonshire Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner Stephen Mold has committed to providing a better service to victims of burglary as well as helping to prevent burglary from happening in the first place.
Every victim of a burglary at their home now receives a visit from the police and a dedicated burglary team was set up to investigate prolific offenders.
Now burglary packs are available that contain useful information on every aspect of home security and what can be done to make a home safer. The packs are available from police front desks and the website will be online soon.
OPFCC Stephen Mold said: “I am pleased to be able to support the Chief Constable in making household burglary a top priority for the Force and the operation set up to focus on this is already achieving significant results in reducing crime and targeting criminals.
Preventing crime is everybody’s businesses, and the packs help us all to play our part in keeping safe and cutting crime.”
