An interactive map, created by Nub News, shows where crimes have been reported around Kenilworth.

Using Police.uk data the map shows all the crimes reported to Warwickshire Police during September 2023 - the most recent data to be released.

Each spot on the map shows where a crime has been reported, the nature of the crime and the last recorded outcome.

A recent report presented to Kenilworth Town Council by the local safer neighbourhood team said crime around the town remains low.

"We have been engaging with members of the public and we are finding that the fear of crime is quite high in Kenilworth, when the figures do not support this," it said.

"Quite often we have people approach us and say 'what with everything going on' and 'crime is bad isn't it?'

"However I am thinking that this is inflamed by reports in national press and in social media, when the reality is that Kenilworth is a safe place to live and crime on a whole is low compared to other areas."

During September 2023 the following crimes were recorded to Kenilworth police:

  • Violence and sexual offences 28
  • Anti-social behaviour 15
  • Vehicle crime 13
  • Other theft 6
  • Public order 9
  • Burglary 8
  • Criminal damage and arson 7
  • Shoplifting 2

In August 91 crimes were reported in the town - a jump from the 76 reported the month before.
