While the overall crime rate is low, it’s important to consider specific crime types. The property crime rate in Mid Lavant stands at 7.6 incidents per 1,000 residents. However, the data doesn’t break down vehicle crime as a separate category within the provided information.

It is important to note that low crime rates do not equate to zero crime. Vehicle crime, like any crime, can occur. To mitigate risk, residents should always practice preventative measures, such as ensuring vehicles are parked in well-lit areas, using vehicle alarms, and avoiding leaving valuables in plain sight. Reporting any suspicious activity to the police remains a vital part of maintaining the area’s safety.
