I'm a polis not a statistician. If you want exact figures submit a FOI request and a pencil pusher will spend time getting you numbers.
I can tell you that if someone phones in while a housebreaking (that's what we call it in Scotland) is ongoing it's a Priority 1 call and pretty much every single cop whose free will be blue lighting it to the call as soon as it's received. Cops on their break will give it up and go straight out to blue light it to the call as well because housebreakers are scumbags and arresting them is very high on everyone's priorities.
If you discover your house has been broken into after the event you're likely to get a response in a matter of hours because there are higher priority calls coming in and we don't lose much of evidential value from the slightly delayed response. |
