Data obtained by Legal Expert via Freedom of Information Requests has found that 22,006 residential break-ins have been recorded by Lancashire Constabulary in the last three years - the third-highest figure reported out of 32 UK Police Forces, behind only London and the West Midlands.
Of the 7,190 home invasions logged last year, a staggering 30 per cent were classed as ‘aggravated burglary’ - meaning a weapon was involved.
Lancashire Police also revealed the region’s home burglary hotspots in 2024.
