Streetly Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Streetly’s crime rate in November 2025 stood at 2.8 per 1,000 residents, placing it 61.6% below the UK average of 7.3. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 37.2% of total crimes, making them the most common category, though this rate is 61% lower than the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000. Vehicle crime (14.0%) and public order offences (11.6%) followed, with the latter showing a dramatic 400% month-on-month increase. This spike may be partly explained by the timing of Bonfire Night, which often leads to temporary surges in disorder-related incidents, though Streetly’s overall rate remains exceptionally low. The area’s relatively low crime profile could be attributed to its built-up nature within Walsall, where community policing and localised initiatives may contribute to sustained safety. Despite seasonal factors, the absence of significant violent crime compared to national trends suggests a unique dynamic in this urbanised but low-density area. The continued drop in shoplifting (-83.3%) and anti-social behaviour (-50%) indicates that targeted interventions or seasonal economic factors may be influencing crime patterns. However, the sharp rise in public order and vehicle crime highlights the need for continued vigilance during periods of increased social activity and commercial traffic.

November saw sharp increases in public order offences (+400%) and criminal damage and arson (+200%). Vehicle crime also rose by 200%, potentially linked to increased traffic during Black Friday shopping. Conversely, shoplifting plummeted by 83.3%, possibly due to heightened police presence or changes in retail security measures. Violence and sexual offences, the most common category at 37.2% of total crimes, remained 61% below the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000. This divergence from national trends may reflect the area’s lower population density or community-focused policing initiatives. Meanwhile, anti-social behaviour fell by 50%, suggesting localized efforts to address nuisance incidents may be effective. These fluctuations highlight the importance of monitoring specific categories rather than relying solely on aggregate figures.

Streetly's crime rate in November 2025 rose 29.9% from 2.1 to 2.8 per 1,000 residents compared to October. While this increase is notable, the area remains 61.6% below the UK average of 7.3. On a daily basis, 1 crime was reported in Streetly over 30 days, translating to roughly one incident per day. This low frequency means that over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 359 residents. When scaled to the population of 15,444, this suggests that the majority of residents experience no direct involvement in crime, though localised spikes in specific categories warrant attention. The shift in crime patterns from October to November may reflect seasonal factors, such as the impact of Bonfire Night on public order incidents or the timing of Black Friday shopping on retail-related crimes. However, the overall low rate underscores the area’s relative safety compared to national benchmarks.
