The rise in criminal damage and arson—up 500% from the prior month—aligns with the start of summer, when outdoor spaces and tourism-related events may increase opportunities for such acts. Vehicle crime, which doubled from zero to four incidents, could be linked to increased car usage or parking patterns during the longer daylight hours of June. These trends contrast with the 80% drop in other theft, which fell below the UK average, and the significant decline in 'other crime' categories, indicating a mixed picture of activity.
