Dacorum Chief Inspector Glen Channer said: “Although crime has reduced across Dacorum significantly since April and burglary has reduced by 21 per cent during the same period, we tend to experience higher levels of burglary during the autumn and winter months. That’s partly due to the darker afternoons, making it easier for a burglar to tell whether the house is unoccupied.
“These events are a great way to reach people whose houses are left unoccupied all day and into the early evening.”
Police will be at Apsley station on Tuesday, December 3, from 4pm to 7pm.
