Coleshill Crime Rate December 2025 | Monthly Statistics

In December 2025, Coleshill (North Warwickshire) maintained a crime rate of 6.0 per 1,000 residents — 14.3% below the UK average of 7.0 per 1,000. This figure, while not insignificant, reflects a consistent pattern of lower-than-national crime levels observed in this built-up area. The breakdown of offences reveals a distinct dominance of property-related crimes, with violence and sexual offences (11 incidents) and vehicle crime (10 incidents) forming the two largest categories. This 47.6% share of property crimes compared to 26.2% for violent crimes suggests a landscape shaped by factors such as retail presence, vehicle density, and seasonal dynamics. December's context — with its Christmas shopping peak, extended dark evenings, and potential for empty homes — may contribute to this balance, as property crimes often correlate with increased foot traffic and opportunities for theft. Violence and sexual offences in Coleshill (1.6 per 1,000) are 38% below the UK average, a figure that could be influenced by the area's relatively stable community environment and limited nightlife activity. Conversely, vehicle crime's 278% above UK average (1.4 per 1,000) highlights a specific vulnerability, linked to the built-up nature of the area and its infrastructure. Anti-social behaviour (1.0 per 1,000) also shows a marginal 8% above the UK average, suggesting localized pressures that may require targeted community engagement. These patterns, while distinct from broader national trends, illustrate the interplay between local geography, seasonal rhythms, and crime dynamics in shaping Coleshill's monthly profile.

December's crime profile reveals a stark contrast between property and violent crime. While property crimes accounted for 47.6% of the total (20 incidents), violent crimes made up 26.2% (11 incidents), highlighting a continued dominance of property-related offences. This balance may reflect seasonal factors, such as increased retail activity during the Christmas shopping period, which could explain the 278% above UK average rate for vehicle crime — a category dominated by theft from vehicles in Coleshill. Shoplifting surged by 200% compared to November, jumping from one to three incidents, likely driven by festive foot traffic and potential retail vulnerabilities. Conversely, burglary plummeted by 80%, from five to one incident, due to heightened vigilance during the holiday season or empty homes being secured. The 278% above UK average for vehicle crime underscores a local challenge, with 10 incidents recorded — nearly 25 times the national rate of 0.4 per 1,000. This discrepancy may be partly explained by Coleshill's built-up area status, where vehicle density and parking arrangements could create conditions conducive to such crimes.

Coleshill's December 2025 crime rate of 6.0 per 1,000 residents marks an 8.7% decline from November's 6.6 per 1,000, reflecting a sustained downward trend. This reduction aligns with the area's historically lower-than-average crime profile, which has consistently placed it 14.3% below the UK's 7.0 per 1,000 benchmark. Daily crime statistics reveal a practical perspective: with 42 crimes reported over 31 days, residents can expect roughly one incident per day — a figure that, while non-zero, remains lower than many comparable areas. When scaled to the population of 7,024, the monthly exposure translates to one reported crime for every 167 residents, illustrating a manageable level of risk for most households. This context contrasts with the UK average, where the equivalent figure would be closer to one in 140 residents, though Coleshill's lower overall rate suggests a combination of local factors, including community engagement and geographic characteristics, may contribute to this disparity.
