The proportion of police recorded burglary and theft offences where the in-vestigation was completed with no suspect identified from 2014 to 2018 can be found in the Police Recorded Crime Outcomes open data tables available here:
https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/police-recorded-crime-open-data-tables

However, information prior to 2014 is not available centrally as forces were not previously required to provide this data to the Home Office. Data is available and published by Police Force Area and data for the Barnsley area specifically are not held.
Furthermore, the Home Office does not hold centrally information on the number of trespassing offences or their outcomes.
