Latest crime figures show there were 5,300 alleged crimes reported in Suffolk in July - and our maps show where.

The figures come from Police.uk and show that over 2,000 of these reports were related to violence or sexual offences.

The maps below chart the vicinity of the crimes reported in that month, those where a location was not provided are not included.

Some of the markers indicated areas outside of Suffolk; these may include people who no longer live in the county or who were reporting an offence from when they were visiting the area.

It is also important to note that the pin positions provided by the police data relate to the area in which the report was made, but do not always reflect the exact location of the crime.

A Suffolk Constabulary spokesman said: “Suffolk continues to have relatively low crime rates in comparison to other areas.

"Our priority is to protect communities throughout the county by keeping people safe, preventing crime, and where crime does occur, to catch and convict the perpetrators.”
