North Yorkshire still lowest crime area in England

Published by Minster FM News at 4:38pm 19th July 2018.


There's been a 7 percent rise in overall crime in North Yorkshire according to the latest government figures.  

They've released the latest numbers for the year up until the end of March.

However North Yorkshire remains the lowest crime area in England.

Incidents of violence without injury have gone up by a fifth, vehicle offences are up by 17 percent and there's been a 14 percent rise in shoplifting.

Bicycle thefts and drug offences are down.

In Humberside, overall crime has risen 12 per cent over that period and there's been an increase in stalking and harrassment by around a third.

There's been a small decrease in drug offences and crimes involving weapons.

 Temporary Chief Constable Lisa Winward said:

“It is very pleasing that North Yorkshire continues to be the safest and lowest crime area in England and Wales.

“This reflects the professionalism and dedication of everyone connected to North Yorkshire Police, the effective partnership working with our local authorities and other community groups, and the vital support from local residents.

“While the 7% increase in crime in our area is lower than the 13% increase nationally, we are not satisfied and we will not become complacent.

“We remain 100% focused on reversing this trend in North Yorkshire through strong neighbourhood policing and our proactive approach to tackling and deterring offenders who come into North Yorkshire from other counties.”

Julia Mulligan, elected Police and Crime Commissioner for North Yorkshire, said:

“North Yorkshire continues to be the safest county in England and Wales with 47.9 crimes per 1,000 of the population. This is a testament to the hard work of police officers, police staff and volunteers and I want to thank them for their hard work to keep us safe and feeling safe.

“Clearly, while still relatively safe, crime continues to rise so there is always more to do. This is especially true in our rural communities which we know often feel they do not receive a fair deal in the efforts put in to tackle crime and anti-social behaviour.”
