A 24-hour burglary tweetathon is launched by Thames Valley Police today.

The police will be tweeting the burglaries reported to its control room from 8pm tonight until 8pm tomorrow.

The tweetathon is part of their summer burglary campaign to raise awareness of the risk of the crime.

Assistant Chief Constable John Campbell, pictured, said: “We hope the public will find our approach an interesting and informative experience and will gain useful crime reduction advice.”
