All of those are criminal offences in their own right though - while clearly inept in your situation, the police don't require new powers to arrest someone for entering your house without permission, throwing bricks through windows, or vandalising power supplies.

I completely agree.

I know it's easier for the gov to publish new laws than it is to actually figure out what the underlying problem is and tackle that.

I think it's quite rare that the underlying problem is "not enough laws"
