The incident happened near Woodhall Spa
Gainsborough is among the ‘most dangerous’ towns in Lincolnshire for residential and commercial break-ins, according to a new report, but Lincolnshire’s Police and Crime Commissioner believes the county has a “low level of this type of crime compared to most of the UK” and that the data lacks “important context”.
“In addition to this, I have successfully bid for millions of pounds of funding from Government which has seen cutting edge CCTV systems placed in key areas across our towns including Gainsborough, Spalding, Boston and Skegness and in the City of Lincoln which has led to significant arrests and undoubtably reduced the number of victims of crime in our communities.
“Our investigative teams, analysts and local Neighbourhood Policing Teams work year-round to identify patterns or emerging issues; for us, it’s important to understand the problem and come up with solutions to proactively tackle burglary. “For any offences that take place in a shed or outbuilding, we will assess the threat, harm and risk and make an assessment on whether we attend.
“When comparing the town’s crime rate of around 9 burglaries per 1,000 residents to the highest in the country, which is Middlesborough with 10, it feels particularly pronounced.
