All 165 burglaries reported in Outer Rothwell in West Yorkshire in the past three years remain unsolved, figures show.
People living in the place with the most unsolved break-ins in England say they're not surprised because they hardly ever see cops around.
He told us that even though the police looked for clues and the neighbours caught the thieves on camera, they still didn't catch them. He didn't want to tell us his name, but he said a group of young people broke into his garage and took fishing equipment worth £3,000 and a bike that cost £2,500. "I've not replaced any of it, a) because it's a lot of money and b) because I don't want it to happen again. The police did send somebody round to speak to me and the crime scene guy came to take fingerprints, but he couldn't get anything."
However, residents of Rothwell's main street, which is home to a shopping precinct troubled by anti-social behaviour, were not convinced. Elaine Paul, a grandmother-of-four, pointed the finger at the lack of police presence in the area for the figures. "It comes from the top down, look at the cuts the government have made to policing. They say they're recruiting more, but they've not even replaced the ones they've cut. There used to be a police station that was manned in the town, but that's shut down now. You never see a police officer, so it's no surprise they think they can do what they want."
