Title: 297 more burglaries across Greater manchester in last month
Post by: wolfman on October 22, 2008, 06:38:52 PM

In the past month alone there have been 297 more burglaries across Greater Manchester compared to last year. This figure is expected to rise further with the nights drawing in, providing more opportunities for burglars. Police also anticipate that the Christmas credit crunch and impending recession will further fuel this situation.

Worryingly, one in three burglaries is down to people leaving doors and windows unlocked or open - and in some areas of the region this can be as much as one in two.
