Police are recording more burglaries, robberies and personal thefts, according to Government figures.
Domestic burglary rose by 3%, robbery by 1% and personal theft by 5% between April and June, compared to the same period the previous year.
But overall crime in England and Wales fell by 4%, the fourth successive quarter in which fewer offences were recorded.
Many areas of crime, including violence, vehicle theft, criminal damage and firearm offences, have fallen. But senior officers are likely to focus on the continuing trend for rising numbers of acquisitive crimes, including burglary and theft.
There were 67,000 domestic burglaries between April and June, compared with 65,200 during the same period the previous year, an increase of 1,800 offences.
Overall, there were 141,700 burglaries, including raids on commercial properties, compared with 138,900 during the same period the previous year.
Theft offences fell by 3%, but this masked an increase in personal thefts, with 228,000 offences taking place, an increase of 12,000 crimes. Bicycle thefts soared by 22%.
Separate British Crime Survey (BCS) figures, which are based on interviews with residents, showed overall levels of crime remain stable.
The survey found household crime has fallen by 4%, with no change in the level of personal crime. The risk of being a crime victim remains at a historic low. Analysts attributed the fall in household crime to a 6% drop in vandalism.
The BCS is favoured by Government statisticians because its methods are unaffected by changes in the levels of reporting to police and recording practice.
