BURGLARS are now striking in Huddersfield only four times a day.
The figures have fallen drastically in recent years to a new low level.
Huddersfield police now have tough targets to achieve - but are meeting them.
Over the last year the burglary rate across the Huddersfield police division has halved.
Ten years or so ago the daily burglary rate was well into its teens, but changes to policing techniques means the battle is being taken to the burglars themselves.
Insp Michael Rollinson, of Huddersfield police, said: "A small number of criminals are responsible for a high proportion of crime and it is known that 5% of offenders account for 50% of offences.
"We know who this minority is in Huddersfield and we use intelligence-led policing to target them.
"Most of our prolific burglars are behind bars at the moment which is good news for the people of Huddersfield."
He added: "The fear of crime is way out of proportion to the actual number of offences being committed.
"Robberies are mainly street crimes committed by young people against other young people to steal mobile phones."
Last week in Edgerton, Marsh, Gledholt, Highfields and Springwood there was no priority crime reported at all.
Priority crime includes burglaries, vehicle crime and robbery.
Lindley Liberal Democrat Clr Tony Woodhead said: "There are many people who are afraid to go out after dark for fear of crime and this information must be reassuring and shows how successful West Yorkshire Police has been over recent months in reducing crime."
Huddersfield Neighbourhood Watch co-ordinator Dave Whitteron said: "The fall in priority crime is due to many factors. The police target known criminals which has led to some excellent arrests.
"Police patrols have been directed at the areas where offenders are known to be operating.
"There are also more and more Neighbourhood Watch schemes which means that a fifth of homes in Huddersfield are now covered by Neighbourhood Watch," said Mr Whitterton.
