Detectives in Llanelli have made a series of arrests in the town for burglary offences during the past month.
A total of twelve arrests have been made.
These have resulted in 11 people being charged with burglary and one for an offence of handling stolen goods.
âOfficers have been targeting those offenders who are known to us and the result is a dozen of them being charged,â said Detective Inspector Richard Hopkin. âThey are currently being dealt with through the court system.
âThe result of these arrests is that weâve seen a marked decline in the number of burglaries happening in the town. Figures show a decrease of almost two thirds, with only 13 burglaries for February compared to 36 for January.
âTackling burglary is a priority for us in Llanelli and these arrests send a clear message that offenders will be caught and dealt with.
âAnyone with information that could help us tackle burglars and find those responsible for these offences I would urge them to get in touch with us by calling 101.â
