Burglaries traditionally more associated with winter because of longer daylight hours in summer
There was a 2.8 per cent decrease in residential burglaries last winter compared to the summer months, Gardaí have said, the first such seasonal reduction recorded.
There was also a 21.6 per cent decrease in winter residential burglaries year on year, dropping from 3,804 in the winter of 2021/2022 to 2,988 in 2022/2023, although Covid-19 had an effect on the figures. The trend “reverses traditional crime statistics which suggested a seasonal trend in a surge in burglaries during winter months when daylight hours are at the lowest level”, Gardaí said.
Overall, there has been a 75 per cent reduction in winter residential burglaries since 2015. While there were 12,057 residential burglaries recorded in winter that year, the number dropped to 2,988 in winter 2022/2023.
