Police data for map of crime in Falmouth in September 2022

The data, which The Packet has organised into an interactive crime map, shows the types of crimes that have taken place as well as the approximate locations in which the offences occurred.

Devon and Cornwall Police divide the crime types into 13 categories: Anti-social behaviour, burglary, criminal damage and arson, public order offences, shoplifting, violence and sexual offences, drugs, vehicle crime, possession of weapons, other theft, and other crime.

The specific offences that fall under these categories are not included with the data that D&C Police have made public.

The three most common categories of crimes committed in Falmouth throughout September 2022 - the most recent data available - are anti-social behaviour, violent and sexual crimes, and criminal damage and arson.
