The question of whether there are specific vehicle crime hotspots in Netheravon is complex to answer directly with pinpoint accuracy based on available data. However, we can analyse the overall crime statistics for the area to provide context and potential risk factors. Netheravon, a built-up area (BUA) in Wiltshire, has a population of 1792. The overall crime rate for Netheravon is 44.6 incidents per 1,000 residents, which is significantly lower than the UK average of 91.6 per 1,000. This suggests that, generally, Netheravon experiences less crime than many other areas in the country.
It’s important to note that this figure represents all types of crime, not just vehicle crime. While the overall crime rate is relatively low, the property crime rate is 15.6 per 1,000, which contributes to the overall crime rate. Vehicle crime often falls under the umbrella of property crime, meaning it is potentially affected by the same factors that influence the broader property crime rate.
Netheravon’s safety score is 87/100, considerably higher than the UK average of 79. A higher safety score suggests residents perceive the area as safer. However, this score doesn't identify specific locations where vehicle crime is more prevalent. Data doesn't specify vehicle crime as a distinct category, so we can't pinpoint specific 'hotspots' within Netheravon.
Given the lack of specific vehicle crime data, it's prudent to adopt preventative measures regardless. These include ensuring vehicles are parked in well-lit areas, using alarms and immobilisers, and keeping valuables out of sight. Reporting any suspicious activity to Wiltshire Police remains crucial for maintaining safety and potentially identifying emerging crime patterns within the area. Further data specific to vehicle crime in Netheravon would be required to identify specific hotspots.
