Crime statistics
Round Hill Crime Statistics 2004
Brighton Community Policing Team have sent us the crime statistics for the Round Hill area for the whole of 2004. Remember that these are only crimes that have been reported and given a crime number. Most of the reported crime involves theft and damage of one kind or another with car crime at the top of the list. Eleven cars were stolen or taken without consent (there is, apparently, a difference) and there were 21 thefts from cars. The 'Other' category includes 'vehicle interference' and the 'Criminal Damage' category doesn't specify what was damaged, so this probably includes vehicles. There were 21 house burglaries in the year, along with some general theft, including several stolen bicycles. With almost 1,000 households in the Round Hill area, these figures do not represent a high incidence of crime per household, but I'm sure that if we could ever get the police to patrol the area more regularly, and with better attention from all of us to the security of our homes, cars and belongings, we could all do our bit to cut crime in Round Hill.
