The question of whether specific areas within Laleham experience disproportionately higher rates of vehicle crime is a valid one. Examining the available data for Laleham (defined as a Built-Up Area or BUA) within the Spelthorne borough provides some insight, though pinpointing specific hotspots requires more granular data.
Laleham itself has a population of 1745 people. Importantly, the overall crime rate for Laleham stands at 25.2 incidents per 1,000 residents, which is significantly lower than the UK average of 91.6 per 1,000. This suggests that, generally, Laleham is a relatively safe area. However, it's crucial to remember that this is an average, and localised variations can occur.
The safety score for Laleham is 93 out of 100, again exceeding the UK average of 79. This score reflects a perceived level of safety within the community. While a high safety score is reassuring, it doesn't negate the possibility of vehicle crime.
The provided data also includes a property crime rate of 8.6 per 1,000. While this doesn’t directly address vehicle crime, it provides context regarding the overall crime landscape. It's possible that areas experiencing higher rates of property crime might also be susceptible to vehicle crime, though this is speculative without further data.
Unfortunately, the data doesn't specify which areas within Laleham experience higher rates of vehicle crime. To ascertain this, one would need to consult more detailed police data, potentially broken down by smaller geographic regions or postcode sectors. Local police community pages or Spelthorne Council’s website might provide more specific information.
It's important to remember that crime statistics are dynamic and can fluctuate. Staying informed about local crime trends is crucial for personal safety and community vigilance. Always report any suspicious activity to the police.
