Where it was recorded
The police publish an approximate map point for each offence, never an address. A street named here means an offence was recorded on or near it — often at a junction, a car park or a parade of shops that serves as the nearest reference point, which is why busy streets dominate.
| On or near | Offences |
|---|---|
| Bentley Way | 12 |
| Petrol Station | 11 |
| Grove Road | 8 |
| Supermarket | 6 |
| Clifford Road | 5 |
| Leicester Road | 5 |
| Raydean Road | 5 |
| Boleyn Way | 4 |
| Station Road | 4 |
| Bohun Grove | 4 |
| Station Approach | 4 |
| Wycherley Crescent | 4 |
How to read these figures
These are offences recorded by the Metropolitan Police, not offences committed. A rise can mean more crime, better reporting, or a change in how something is classified, and anti-social behaviour in particular reflects how often people call it in. Figures for one month in one area are a small sample: treat a change of a handful of offences as noise rather than a trend.
