“Burglary crime in Brighton has increased by just shy of six percent in 2022,” said James Mullen, the Managing Director at Titus Alarm & CCTV. “There are more than two million burglary crimes committed in the city each year.”

Brighton and Hove are considered the most dangerous cities in East Sussex with an overall crime rate of ninety-five crimes for one thousand people. This is forty-eight percent higher than the East Sussex rate. It is considered the twenty-fifth most dangerous city in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

The city had the worst crime rate for East Sussex in December 2021 with a high number of burglaries taking place, along with criminal damage and arson. Residents of the city also have to be wary of violence and sexual offences increasing dramatically over the past year. The police recorded more than twenty-seven thousand offences over a twelve-month period with an increase of eleven percent, when compared to the previous year.

One of the areas of concern is sexual offences, which saw a thirty-three percent increase compared to the previous year. Theft offences have also risen by more than thirteen percent, when compared to the previous year.

James Mullen, the Managing Director at Titus Alarm & CCTV in Brighton, went on to say “Michael Murry, a prolific shoplifter was one of those responsible for the theft offences taking place over the past year. He was jailed after pleading guilty to thirty-three counts of theft. Thirty-one of these theft offences took place at a Co-Op Store. Having a CCTV system installed can provide valuable information to police investigators. The footage can also be used as evidence in court.”
