New interactive map shows the worst-hit places in Bristol for burglaries

Burglars are targeting neighbourhoods across Bristol, according to data from police.uk.which has helped us produce an interactive map showing the worst-hit areas.

It comes as Avon and Somerset Police issued a commitment to attend all home burglaries from now on. Chief Inspector Karen Corrigan admitted that the force must do better to clamp down on offenders.

She said 5.6% of home burglaries were currently solved in the region in an interview with BBC Radio Bristol, and that the force was previously attending 86.7% of incidents after they had been reported.
