However, it’s crucial to examine the specific types of crime. The property crime rate in Wadebridge is 23.4 per 1,000 residents.

Without more localised crime data, it’s impossible to pinpoint specific streets or neighbourhoods within Wadebridge where vehicle crime is disproportionately higher.

Local police forces often publish updates on crime trends within smaller areas, which would provide more targeted information.
