What local police are focusing on

Since 1 October, the Warwick Central safer neighbourhood team’s published priorities are residential burglary and anti-social behaviour in St Nicholas Park and the town centre. September’s figures come from before those priorities were set.

These are crimes recorded by Warwickshire Police, published about two months after the month ends. They include crimes against visitors as well as residents, and single months can vary a lot, so the 12-month figure is the better guide to the trend. August’s figures are in last month’s column, and our Warwick crime figures page has the full table and a two-year chart.
