No progress in catching burglary culprits

There's been no progress in catching the criminals that committed 47 burglaries earlier this year.

That's according to the Home Affairs Minister who says police activity surrounding the epidemic put a stop to their activity on Island.

However he admits police haven't gathered enough evidence to pin down those responsible despite them saying it was a "top priority".
