Area Commander Chief Inspector Jon Burrows explains: “The operation has been running since the beginning of October and to date police have arrested 44 people on warrants and 14 people for breaching their bail conditions.

“Police will also be conducting nightly curfew checks on those persons charged with crime who have bail conditions and we will rigorously enforce bail conditions - if you are on curfew expect us to call. Those charged with burgling homes will be prioritised.

“Crime is at its lowest in Foyle in over a decade. This year there have been 100 fewer victims of burglary, over a 150 fewer victims of assault and anti social behaviour over the spring and summer was reduced by over 600 incidents. This means a better quality of life for all our citizens.”

Chief Inspector Burrows added: “This success could not have been achieved without the help and active support of our partners, community leaders and the public. Reducing crime and making people feel safer in their homes is of primary importance to police. The public should feel confident that officers in Foyle are taking all necessary steps to disrupt criminal activity in the local area.”
