The question of what types of vehicle crime are commonly reported in Barnham (Arun) is one many residents understandably have. While specific incident details aren't publicly available beyond overall crime statistics, we can analyse the data to understand the context. Barnham (Arun), designated as a BUA within the Arun district, has a population of 8276. Its overall crime rate sits at 73.2 per 1,000 residents, which is lower than the UK average of 91.6. This suggests a generally safer environment compared to the national picture, with a safety score of 84/100, exceeding the UK average of 79.
It's important to note that the provided data includes a property crime rate of 25.0 per 1,000 residents. Vehicle crime falls under the umbrella of property crime, although the data doesn't differentiate between types of property crime. Therefore, while we cannot list specific vehicle crime types directly, we can infer that vehicle-related offences contribute to this property crime rate.
Common vehicle crimes typically include theft of vehicle parts (such as catalytic converters or car stereos), vehicle theft itself, and criminal damage. Given the general property crime rate in Barnham (Arun), it's reasonable to assume that these types of vehicle crimes are likely to occur, although at a potentially lower frequency than in areas with higher crime rates. The lower overall crime rate and higher safety score for Barnham (Arun) suggests that proactive security measures, like those taken in areas with higher rates, may be particularly effective in maintaining safety.
It's recommended to consult local police reports and crime mapping tools (if available) for more detailed information on specific vehicle crime trends within Barnham (Arun). Contacting the local police force directly is also a good way to stay informed about local safety concerns and preventative measures.
