Coleshill (North Warwickshire) Crime Rate January 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Coleshill (North Warwickshire) recorded a crime rate of 5.8 per 1,000 in January 2025, placing it 18.3% below the UK average of 7.1 per 1,000. This figure, while lower than national benchmarks, masks a complex distribution across crime types, with vehicle crime standing out as an anomaly. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 36.6% of all incidents (15 cases), followed by vehicle crime at 17.1% (7 cases). The latter category, at 1.0 per 1,000, was 144% above the UK average of 0.4 per 1,000, a stark contrast to the overall rate. This divergence may be attributed to local factors such as the presence of car parks or high-traffic areas that could attract vehicle-related crime. The seasonal context of January—post-holiday, with reduced retail footfall and shorter days—likely contributed to lower overall crime, though the persistence of vehicle crime suggests other drivers, such as cold-weather vehicle usage or unsecured vehicles, may be at play. Burglary (0.7 per 1,000) was also 133% above the UK average, indicating another potential vulnerability in property security. Meanwhile, categories such as anti-social behaviour (0.4 per 1,000) were 59% below the UK average, reflecting a quieter local environment during the winter months. The data illustrates a community with generally low crime levels, but with specific areas of concern that warrant attention.

January 2025 saw a 58.8% decrease in vehicle crime, dropping from 17 incidents in December to 7, a shift that may reflect seasonal changes in car usage or increased security measures. Conversely, theft from the person rose by 100%, with one incident reported—a stark contrast to December's zero cases. Other theft and drug-related offences each increased by 50%, suggesting potential shifts in criminal activity patterns. Vehicle crime in Coleshill (1.0 per 1,000) was 144% above the UK average (0.4 per 1,000), an outlier that stands in contrast to the overall rate being 18.3% below the UK average. This discrepancy may indicate a specific vulnerability in local infrastructure, such as car parks or unsecured vehicles, that deserves closer attention. Meanwhile, anti-social behaviour fell by 70%, from 10 to 3 incidents, a decline that could be linked to reduced public gatherings during the post-holiday period.

Coleshill's crime rate in January 2025 (5.8 per 1,000) marked a 35.9% decline from December 2024's 9.1 per 1,000, reflecting a significant shift in local crime dynamics. This reduction aligns with seasonal patterns, as January typically sees reduced retail footfall and shorter daylight hours curbing outdoor activity. Over the 31-day period, one crime was reported per day on average, translating to one crime occurring for every 171 residents over the course of the month. This monthly exposure rate places the area in a safer bracket compared to UK-wide averages, though this figure is specific to Coleshill and does not directly compare to national daily statistics. The population-scaled perspective reveals that residents face a lower risk of encountering crime than the UK average, with the most pronounced drops in anti-social behaviour and vehicle crime contributing to the overall decline. These trends suggest that targeted interventions or seasonal factors may have played a role in reducing incidents, though further analysis would be needed to confirm causal links.
