The question of whether there are known vehicle crime hotspots in Chudleigh Knighton is complex. Data from Teignbridge indicates that Chudleigh Knighton, classified as a Built-Up Area (BUA) with a population of 1793, has a crime rate of 32.4 incidents per 1,000 residents. This is significantly lower than the UK average of 91.6 incidents per 1,000. Overall, the area boasts a safety score of 92 out of 100, considerably higher than the UK average of 79. However, the data also reveals a concerning aspect: a night safety score of only 17 out of 100.
It’s important to understand that the overall crime rate doesn’t pinpoint specific locations experiencing heightened vehicle crime. The provided data does not specify types of crime, so it’s impossible to identify vehicle crime hotspots specifically. The property crime rate is reported as 12.8 incidents per 1,000 residents, but again, this figure doesn't differentiate between property crimes involving vehicles (like theft from a car) and other forms of property crime.
The low night safety score suggests residents may perceive a lack of safety after dark. This perception, coupled with the overall crime rate, indicates a need for heightened vigilance and proactive security measures. While the overall safety score is high, the night safety score highlights a vulnerability.
Without more granular data breaking down crime types by location within Chudleigh Knighton, it’s impossible to definitively state which areas are experiencing vehicle crime 'hotspots.' Residents should remain aware of their surroundings and report any suspicious activity to the police. Further investigation by local authorities would be necessary to determine specific areas experiencing higher rates of vehicle crime.
