crackdown on burglaries

From the BBC
Police have begun a crackdown after a spate of burglaries in a town on the Lincolnshire coast.

Six burglaries have been reported in the Drummond Road, Sandbeck Avenue, Becket Close and Buckthorn Avenue areas of Skegness over the past month.

Officers believe most of the homes were targeted while occupants were on holiday as they appeared to be empty.

Police are now carrying out high visibility patrols and house-to-house visits as part of Operation Celestial.

Insp Terry Ball said: "We believe the houses are being targeted due to their apparent emptiness.

"Our high profile campaign aims to highlight this to local residents and ensure they take precautionary action if they plan to go away."
No mention of trying to actually solve the crimes then?

Oh, good lord no!

Besides, if they did solve them, what would the burglars get?
