Confusing Burglary Statistics

On day after the Daily Moan reported on Burglary hotspots, the MEN published a different set of figures with different conclusions.

Whilst the Daily Moan, in their report, names Eccles as the area most likely to make a claim for burglary, the MEN named Eccles as the 21st.

Who is correct, or are they both, or even neither. Is this a case of statistics, suitably processed, create a different answer?
