Residential burglaries have fallen by half
In 2015, 350 burglaries were reported in the Kristianstad police area. The year after that, 203. Since then it has fallen further. In 2018, it was 167.
This year, up until mid-June, there have been 46 burglaries in villas, townhouses, holiday homes or apartments.
It’s difficult to say why burglaries have decreased. One reason may be the border controls that were introduced in 2015. This is what the police believe.
– We have carried out checks at ports. Then we found a lot of stolen goods on the way out of the country, says Martin Thornell.
There is an increased interest in protecting oneself with among other things, alarms and neighbourhood watch, that is, neighbours helping each other keep an eye on the neighbourhood, who is in the neighbourhood.
From 2015 to 2018, residential burglaries have fallen by over 50 per cent in the Kristianstad police area. This is what Martin Thornell, Municipal Police in Kristianstad, says.
