Detective Inspector Stuart Mitchell said: "Burglary is an intrusive crime that can leave victims feeling unsafe in their own homes, and we understand the lasting impact it can have on individuals and families.
"That is why tackling burglary remains a priority for us.
"We are committed to pursuing those responsible, using intelligence-led policing and targeted activity to prevent offences, identify suspects and bring offenders to justice.
"We support victims by ensuring they receive the help, advice and updates they need throughout our investigations.
"We want every victim to know that they will be listened to, treated with empathy and kept at the heart of our response."
