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

Coleshill (North Warwickshire) maintained a crime rate of 6.7 per 1,000 residents in March 2025, placing it 14.1% below the UK average of 7.8 per 1,000. This figure, while lower than the national benchmark, reveals a complex picture shaped by seasonal dynamics and local characteristics. The most prevalent crime types were anti-social behaviour (23.4% of total crimes), violence and sexual offences (23.4%), and vehicle crime (19.2%), with the latter two categories showing marked differences from UK averages. The transition to spring, with its extended evenings and clock changes, likely influenced patterns of anti-social behaviour, which often peaks during periods of increased social interaction and outdoor activity. Vehicle crime. from February, remains high at 233% above the UK average, a trend consistent with areas where commuter parking and retail activity intersect. Violence and sexual offences, while contributing significantly to the total crime count, were 41% below the UK average, suggesting effective local policing or community initiatives in this category. The overall crime profile indicates a need for targeted interventions in vehicle-related offences and anti-social behaviour, particularly as the season progresses and outdoor activities increase.

March 2025 saw notable spikes in specific crime categories, with 'other crime' surging by 100% from zero to four incidents, and both robbery and bicycle theft doubling from zero to one and two cases respectively. These increases, though small in absolute terms, signal potential emerging trends requiring attention. Anti-social behaviour remains the most prevalent category at 23.4% of total crimes, significantly above the UK average of 1.2 per 1,000. Conversely, shoplifting fell by 33.3% to two incidents, aligning with the UK average of 0.7 per 1,000. Vehicle crime, while down 35.7% to nine cases, still exceeds the UK rate by 233%, highlighting a persistent issue in local transportation areas. Residents should be particularly vigilant around late-night hours, given the seasonal transition and extended daylight in spring, which may influence anti-social behaviour patterns.

Coleshill's crime rate rose 4.4% from 6.4 to 6.7 per 1,000 residents in March 2025 compared to February, reflecting a slight upward trend. Locally, this equates to approximately two crimes reported daily across the built-up area, with 1-in-149 residents experiencing a reported incident over the month. While the overall rate remains 14.1% below the UK average, the distribution of crime types reveals distinct patterns. The daily crime count, though low, highlights the need for vigilance in areas where anti-social behaviour and vehicle crime are concentrated. The monthly exposure figure of 1-in-149 residents provides context for community awareness, though this is a local aggregate and not comparable to national statistics. Population size plays a role in scaling these figures, with Coleshill's 7,024 residents experiencing a proportionally lower rate than the UK average but showing specific vulnerabilities in certain crime categories.
