Understanding Plymouth Vehicle Crime Data
When checking vehicle crime statistics for Plymouth, it's worth knowing how Devon and Cornwall Police and the Home Office actually log these things. Our radar displays data that groups three lovely types of offences under one big "Vehicle Crime" category:
- Theft of a motor vehicle: The classic "dude, where's my car?" complete theft of a vehicle.
- Theft from a motor vehicle: Break-ins where stuff is nicked from the cabin, or parts are stripped from the exterior.
- Vehicle interference: Attempted break-ins, tampering, or chancers trying door handles without getting in.
Because the police lump these together to protect victim privacy, we can't magically separate a smashed window from a stolen car in the stats. But hey, our hyper-local analysis still gives you a solid read on the overall sketchy-ness of any street in Plymouth.
