Coleshill (North Warwickshire) Crime Rate June 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Coleshill (North Warwickshire) recorded a crime rate of 5.7 per 1,000 residents in June 2024, placing it 30.5% below the UK average of 8.2. This relatively low rate is consistent with the area’s character as a built-up rural district, where community cohesion and limited urban density may contribute to lower overall crime. The most common crime type was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 35% of all incidents, followed by anti-social behaviour (15%) and criminal damage and arson (12.5%). While violent crime remains a concern, this category is 28% below the UK average, suggesting local factors may moderate its prevalence. Seasonal context adds nuance: the start of summer, with its longer days and potential increase in outdoor activity, may influence patterns, though the area’s crime rate remains stable compared to previous months. Property crimes accounted for 42.5% of total incidents, with shoplifting and vehicle crime each showing distinct trends. These figures highlight the interplay between local conditions and broader national patterns, offering a balanced view of Coleshill’s crime profile.

June 2024 saw a striking 200% increase in shoplifting, rising from one to three incidents. This surge contrasts sharply with a 50% drop in anti-social behaviour and public order offences, which fell from 12 to 6 and 6 to 3 respectively. The spike in shoplifting, despite the area’s overall low crime rate, may be linked to increased foot traffic during the start of summer, though no direct causal link is confirmed. Meanwhile, violent crimes doubled, with violence and sexual offences rising from seven to 14—a 100% increase. This category remains 28% below the UK average, but the absolute jump is notable. Vehicle crime also fell by 40%, from five to three, possibly reflecting reduced parking congestion or seasonal changes in local activity. These shifts illustrate how specific crime types can fluctuate independently of the overall trend, offering a nuanced picture of local dynamics.

Coleshill's crime rate in June 2024 fell by 9.1% compared to May, dropping from 6.3 to 5.7 per 1,000 residents. This decline aligns with broader seasonal patterns, where longer daylight hours and warmer weather may reduce opportunities for certain crimes. On a daily basis, the area recorded roughly one crime per day over the month, a figure that reflects the relatively low overall rate. When scaled to the population, this equates to one reported crime for every 176 residents over the course of June, underscoring the area’s comparative safety. While this monthly exposure is significantly lower than the UK average, the localised spikes in specific crime types—such as shoplifting and violence—suggest that targeted patterns persist even in a generally low-crime environment. These figures offer residents a concrete sense of risk, showing that while the overall landscape is stable, certain categories warrant closer attention.
