Police forces in England and Wales have fulfilled a pledge made last year to attend the scene of every home burglary, according to police chiefs.

The National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC) said in October that officers would attend all residential thefts, following the UK government’s call for a shift of focus from “symbolic gestures” to “common sense policing.”
