Neighbourhood crime. No one likes it. No one wants it.
But sadly, crime happens. Neighbourhoods aren't just blighted by petty criminal offences, they often experience more serious incidents such as burglaries, criminal damage, drugs and ASBO offences too. It's a sad fact of life.
We've put together this page to help you determine the crime rates for the PR8 1BN postcode area, broken down into offence type. We've also put in UK-wide averages to allow you to compare PR8 1BN with the rest of the country, as well as local community police neighbourhood priorities.
