Crime falls across the Vale once again
Crime in Aylesbury Vale has fallen by 4%, with significant decreases in burglary and theft of vehicles. The recession hasn't adversely impacted crime and disorder within Aylesbury Vale as had been anticipated.
Throughout 2009/2010 there were 520 recorded burglaries – 53 lower than the previous year – and 197 vehicle thefts – 14 lower than the previous year.
These key successes have been down to effective partnership work between the police, council and other agencies who work as part of the Community Safety Partnership. With projects such as the Hard Target and Home Service scheme which protect vulnerable residents by upgrading home security and Operation Accurist, our wintertime burglary campaign which gave out over 3500 home safety packs, we've been able to keep the rate of burglary to one of the lowest across Thames Valley.
