New figures from An Garda Síochána show that burglarlies fell 23% in the last two months of 2017, writes Cillian Sherlock.

The provisional figures show that burglaries during the first two months of the Winter Phase of Operation Thor fell significantly - despite historical evidence which suggests burglaries are likely to surge by 20% in winter months, according to gardaí.
