Determining specific vehicle crime ‘hotspots’ within St Neots requires more granular data than is currently available. However, we can use the available data to understand the overall crime situation and potential areas of concern. St Neots, a Built-Up Area (BUA) in Huntingdonshire, has a population of 35,008. Its overall crime rate is 74.3 per 1,000 residents, which is lower than the UK average of 91.6. This suggests a generally safer environment compared to the national average. The safety score for St Neots is 83/100, again exceeding the UK average of 79, further reinforcing this perception of relative safety.
It's important to note the property crime rate, which stands at 24.9 per 1,000 residents. While this figure isn't exclusively related to vehicle crime, it provides context about the broader security landscape. Areas with higher property crime rates often experience increased vehicle crime as well, due to opportunistic thieves operating in the same vicinity.
Without precise location data for vehicle crimes, we cannot pinpoint exact hotspots. However, residents should be aware of the overall crime rate and consider that areas with higher property crime rates may also be more vulnerable to vehicle-related incidents. Increased vigilance, particularly when parking in less populated or poorly lit areas, is recommended. Securing your vehicle – ensuring windows are closed, doors are locked, and alarms are activated – is a simple but effective preventative measure. Reporting any suspicious activity to the police is also vital in maintaining the safety of St Neots.
