You Said – Residential Burglaries is a priority for those living in the Burbage area. With the evenings remaining darker than they do in the summer residents continue to fear being a victim of Burglary. Properties in Burbage are seen as more appealing and historically the area has a higher number of reported break ins than neighbouring areas such as Hinckley, Barwell and Earl Shilton.
Issued 01 January 2025
We Did – Preventing and Detecting burglaries across the wider Hinckley area always remains a priority for Leicestershire Police, however for the next 3 months the beat team will also continue to raise this as their local priority offering crime prevention advice and support via social media and all the regular events across the beat.
There were no reports of residential burglary until the end of January. Two reports were received in the final days. These incidents appear to be vehicle related. We have continued with targeted patrols, supporting victims and the local community and ensuring follow up work is completed in order to try and identify vehicles or suspects involved. Whilst there were minimal incidents during January, we are reminding people to stay vigilant.

You Said – Road Safety. With a recent increase in Road Traffic Collisions only the main arterial routes such as the A5 through our beat, the community are rightly concerned about road safety across the area. We recognise that with the winter weather set to continue for a couple of months, this will make driving conditions more hazardous requiring road users to be more considerate and careful when using the roads across the area.
Issued 01 January 2025
We Did – During the next 3 months the beat team are raising road safety as a priority to ensure that poor driving behaviours are challenged, and more collisions are prevented.
During January we have completed patrols of schools and challenged poor parking/driving habits. We have seized several vehicles throughout the month for a range of offences such as no driving licence and no tax/MOT.
We have held a meeting with local schools and as part of identifying productive solutions, we have sent a survey out to residents and parents which will be used to support us in getting action taken to improve the area. We are trying to work with partner agencies such as LCC Highways and schools, as road safety is requires a joint effort.
