Coleshill Crime Rate October 2025 | Monthly Statistics

October 2025 marked a 14.2% rise in Coleshill's crime rate, reaching 8.0 per 1,000 residents—3.9% above the UK average. This increase was driven by a combination of factors, including seasonal changes and shifts in the types of crimes reported. Anti-social behaviour, the most common category, accounted for 23.2% of all incidents, significantly exceeding the UK average for this category. Violence and sexual offences followed, contributing 21.4% of reported crimes, though this rate was 36% below the UK average. Vehicle crime, at 1.3 per 1,000, was 210% above the UK average, a figure that may be linked to the area's built-up nature and the presence of commuter routes. The seasonal context of October—shorter daylight hours and the approach of Halloween—likely contributed to an increase in anti-social behaviour and public order incidents, as darker evenings may have influenced both perpetrator and victim behaviour. While the overall rate remains relatively low compared to larger urban centres, the significant disparity in vehicle crime and anti-social behaviour highlights the need for targeted interventions. The data also suggests that Coleshill's crime profile is shaped by its role as a smaller, mixed-use area within North Warwickshire, where community dynamics and local infrastructure intersect to create unique patterns of criminal activity.

The most striking month-on-month change was the 100% increase in drug-related crimes, which rose from zero to two incidents. This surge, coupled with a similar jump in other theft (from four to eight) and other crime (from zero to one), indicates a significant shift in the crime mix. Anti-social behaviour remains the most prevalent category, contributing 23.2% of total crimes, though it is 51% above the UK average for this category. Vehicle crime, however, dropped by 35.7%, falling from 14 to nine incidents—a decline that may reflect seasonal factors, such as reduced daylight hours curbing opportunistic thefts. Violence and sexual offences also decreased by 20%, with 12 incidents reported in October compared to 15 in September. These fluctuations underscore the dynamic nature of crime patterns in Coleshill, where localised events and environmental factors appear to influence trends.

Coleshill's crime rate in October 2025 rose to 8.0 per 1,000 residents, marking a 14.2% increase from the previous month's rate of 7.0 per 1,000. This shift reflects a notable uptick in reported incidents, though the daily crime count remains steady at approximately two crimes per day over the 31-day period. When contextualised per resident, the monthly exposure translates to one reported crime for every 125 residents in Coleshill. This figure is consistent with the area's built-up character within North Warwickshire, where population density and community dynamics may influence reporting rates. While the overall rate remains marginally above the UK average, the localised nature of Coleshill's crime profile suggests that specific neighbourhood factors, such as proximity to transport hubs or seasonal events, may play a role in the fluctuation. The comparison highlights the importance of tracking trends within the area's unique demographic and geographic context.
