Coleshill Crime Rate February 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Coleshill (North Warwickshire) reported a crime rate of 6.4 per 1,000 residents in February 2025, placing it 4.5% below the UK average of 6.7 per 1,000. This figure reflects a built-up area’s unique dynamics, where urban characteristics and seasonal factors intersect to shape local crime patterns. The most common crime types were vehicle crime (31.1% of total incidents), violence and sexual offences (20.0%), and anti-social behaviour (17.8%). These proportions suggest that the area’s infrastructure, including road networks and public spaces, may contribute to the high incidence of vehicle-related crimes. Meanwhile, the lower-than-average rates of violence and sexual offences (1.3 per 1,000) and theft from the person (0.1 per 1,000) could indicate effective community policing or demographic factors that reduce interpersonal conflict. February’s winter conditions, with low outdoor activity and a pre-spring lull, may have influenced crime patterns, shifting focus to more indoor or vehicle-targeted offences. However, the sharp increase in vehicle crime—up 100% from January—suggests that environmental or economic factors, such as increased vehicle idling during cold weather, may be playing a role. The area’s relatively low burglary rate (0.3 per 1,000) compared to the UK average (0.3 per 1,000) highlights the need for further analysis to determine whether this is a consistent trend or an anomaly. Overall, the crime profile of Coleshill in February 2025 illustrates the challenges of maintaining safety in a built-up area while navigating seasonal and structural influences.

February 2025 saw a 40% decrease in violence and sexual offences, with the category falling from 15 to 9 incidents, the largest single-month drop in this category since 2023. This reduction aligns with the UK average for this category, which stands at 2.4 per 1,000, though Coleshill’s rate of 1.3 per 1,000 is 45% below the national figure. Concurrently, burglary incidents fell by 60% compared to January, dropping from 5 to 2, a decline that may be attributed to increased community policing efforts or seasonal factors. However, vehicle crime surged by 100%, rising from 7 to 14 incidents, a rate of 2.0 per 1,000 that is 441% above the UK average of 0.4 per 1,000. This sharp increase could be linked to the area’s proximity to major transport routes or the higher volume of parked vehicles during colder months. Anti-social behaviour also saw a 166.7% increase, rising from 3 to 8 incidents, suggesting a potential correlation with post-holiday social gatherings or changes in local event schedules. These shifts highlight the combination of seasonal patterns and local demographics in shaping crime trends.

Coleshill’s February 2025 crime rate of 6.4 per 1,000 residents marks a 9.8% increase from the previous month’s 5.8 per 1,000, reflecting a shift in local crime dynamics. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately 2 crimes per day over the 28-day period, a figure that contextualises the frequency of incidents for residents. Monthly exposure reveals that over the course of February, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 156 residents, a statistic that highlights the relative safety of the built-up area despite the upward trend. When viewed through a population-scaled lens, Coleshill’s crime rate remains 4.5% below the UK average, suggesting that broader systemic factors may be influencing local patterns. This contrast underscores the importance of considering both local and national contexts when assessing crime trends. The increase from January to February may be linked to seasonal factors, such as the pre-spring lull in outdoor activity, which could have shifted crime from public spaces to more targeted or indoor-focused incidents. However, the specific drivers of this month-on-month change remain unclear without further data.
