Trespassing should be criminal offense.

What the petition asks

During this COVID pandemic trespassing and burglary has become nightmare. So as a citizen we think trespassing should be made a criminal offence
Since last year i have stopped more than 4 people trespassing into my property and also we had burglary once. When i call police about trespassing they say it is not crime just ask them to leave, but clearly these person who were trespassing are looking to break in to my property
