Burglaries are getting out of hand

Every one we know knows someone who has been burgled recently.
We were burgled in September while we were sleeping, our neighbours were burgled while they slept and it goes on and on. My cousin was burgled and he caught the burglar and the police did nothing. Another burglary was in progress and a neighbour phoned the police and was told by the time they would get there the burglars would be gone. We are in the area between Oroklini and Dhekelia. We never see a police car patrol our area especially during the night when our homes are being broken into. We hardly see any police driving any where to deter culprits only on the motor way for speeding.
This is our dilemma we want more visual police patrolling around we see none. We are writing to you to bring the concern of the residents of Cyprus to the attention to those who can do something about it.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
