Coleshill Crime Rate July 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Coleshill (North Warwickshire) recorded a crime rate of 10.0 per 1,000 residents in July 2024, placing it 19% above the UK average of 8.4. This figure reflects a built-up area within a predominantly rural district, where local dynamics—such as seasonal tourism and community events—may influence crime patterns. The top crime types were violence and sexual offences (28.6% of total incidents), anti-social behaviour (18.6%), and vehicle crime (11.4%). The seasonal context of July, a peak summer month with schools out and festivals in full swing, likely contributed to the rise in anti-social behaviour and public order offences, which both saw significant increases. Violence and sexual offences, while still elevated compared to the UK average, remained consistent with the area’s profile as a small town with limited policing resources and a reliance on community-based responses. The data also reveals a stark contrast in property crimes, where vehicle crime far outpaced national trends but was offset by lower rates of burglary and other theft. This suggests that while the area faces unique challenges in managing vehicle-related incidents, it may benefit from a lower incidence of residential crime compared to larger urban centres. The interplay between local geography, seasonal activity, and community engagement will be critical in addressing these trends moving forward.

July 2024 saw a dramatic spike in vehicle crime, with incidents rising from 3 to 8—a 166.7% increase—suggesting heightened activity in local parking areas or during summer festivals. Anti-social behaviour also surged by 116.7%, from 6 to 13 incidents, potentially linked to increased foot traffic during school holidays and community events. Conversely, burglary dropped by 50%, from 2 to 1, a decline that may reflect improved home security measures or seasonal shifts in criminal opportunity. Vehicle crime in Coleshill (1.1 per 1,000) was 139% above the UK average of 0.5 per 1,000, indicating a specific vulnerability in the area’s infrastructure or traffic patterns. These fluctuations highlight the need for targeted interventions, particularly in addressing the surge in vehicle-related offences and anti-social behaviour during peak summer months.

Coleshill's crime rate in July 2024 rose sharply to 10.0 per 1,000 residents, a 75.2% increase from the previous month's rate of 5.7. This leap places the area 19% above the UK average, highlighting a significant divergence from national trends. Daily crime activity averaged approximately two incidents per day over the 31-day period, a figure that underscores the immediacy of local concerns. Over the course of the month, one crime was reported for every 100 residents, a monthly exposure rate that translates to a heightened sense of vulnerability for the community. The population context—7,024 residents—amplifies the impact of these figures, as the relatively small size of the built-up area means each incident is more visible and potentially disruptive. This contrast with the UK's broader statistical averages underscores the need for localized analysis, as national trends may not fully capture the dynamics of smaller, tightly knit communities.
