Leicestershire Police

'Operation Dynamo' is a new force wide campaign to tackle burglary. It was launched at the beginning of August with all officers and members of staff being urged not to leave any stone unturned in their search for burglars.

A dedicated team of detectives has been established who will visit the victim of every burglary and ensure a robust investigation is carried out; exploring all possible avenues including forensic opportunities, CCTV, house to house enquiries and Automatic Number Plate Technology (ANPR). Known offenders across the city and county will receive regular visits from officers to ensure they are not offending and significant work is being done with Force’s ANPR cameras to deny criminals the use of Leicestershire and Rutland’s roads. Crime pattern analysis shows that 40% of burglaries which are committed on the Counties’ BCU are committed by people who live outside the County or Force area.
