Chief Inspector Stephen Barlow of Kent Police said: “Even though Operation Castle has come to an end, our efforts to prevent burglaries from happening never will and we encourage people to think about how secure their homes are every day of the year.

“Burglars do not have an off-season and do not care what time of the year it is or whether it is the morning, afternoon or night. All they want to know is how easy is it to break into your home, and what can they steal if they do so.”
