THE latest crime statistics show that the London Borough of Hillingdon suffered a whopping 152 burglaries in one month.

Figures for April 2017 – the most recent available – reveal that there was on average at least one burglary every day somewhere in the borough.

But the burglaries were not spread out evenly across Hillingdon and our research shows there are “hotspots” in the borough.

It’s very good news if you live in Harefield however – there was not one recorded burglary for the month of April 2017.
