Coleshill Crime Rate November 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Violence and sexual offences dominated Coleshill’s crime profile in November 2024, accounting for nearly 40% of all reported crimes. This category, which includes assault, harassment, and other forms of interpersonal violence, was the most frequently recorded offence, with 19 incidents reported—significantly higher than the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000. The area’s overall crime rate of 7.0 per 1,000 residents places it 7.9% below the UK’s average of 7.6, a figure that may reflect the effectiveness of local policing efforts or the relatively low population density of the built-up area. Seasonal factors likely played a role in shaping these patterns, with the onset of darker evenings and the timing of events like Bonfire Night potentially contributing to increased incidents of violence. Anti-social behaviour, the second most common category, accounted for 16.3% of crimes, though it remained 1% below the UK average. Vehicle crime, however, stood out as an anomaly, with a rate of 1.0 per 1,000—127% above the UK average. This could be attributed to local infrastructure, such as commuter parking or the presence of high-traffic areas. The data also reveals a stark contrast in drug-related offences, which rose sharply to three cases, compared to the UK average of 0.3 per 1,000. These figures paint a complex picture of a small built-up area where certain crime types are affected by both local conditions and broader national trends.

November saw a stark rise in robbery, which doubled from 0 to 2 incidents, while theft from the person and drug-related offences also increased from zero to one and three cases, respectively. These spikes contrast with declines in vehicle crime (down 46.2%) and anti-social behaviour (down 27.3%). The area’s vehicle crime rate remains 127% above the UK average, a significant outlier that may reflect local factors such as parking density or traffic patterns. Meanwhile, violence and sexual offences—accounting for 38.8% of all crimes—were 5% above the UK average, suggesting a potential link to seasonal factors like darker evenings and Bonfire Night events. For residents, the sharp increase in robbery is a clear red flag, particularly given the absence of such incidents in October. These shifts highlight the volatility of crime trends and the need for targeted local responses.

Coleshill’s crime rate in November 2024 dropped to 7.0 per 1,000 residents, a 22.2% decline from the previous month’s rate of 9.0 per 1,000. This reduction suggests a potential shift in local crime dynamics. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately 2 crimes per day, a figure that translates to roughly one reported crime for every 143 residents over the course of the month. This monthly exposure rate, while relatively low compared to some UK areas, underscores the importance of ongoing vigilance. The population context further highlights that Coleshill’s smaller size may contribute to more pronounced fluctuations in crime statistics. For instance, the sharp drop in vehicle crime and anti-social behaviour, paired with the rise in specific offences like robbery, illustrates how localized factors can influence crime patterns in a built-up area with limited population density. These figures, while not directly comparable to UK-wide averages, offer a snapshot of Coleshill’s unique crime profile.
