More up-to-date figures show that during a 12 month period up to September 2013, crime in the North Yorkshire Police area has been reduced by 4% to a total of 34,368 crimes.

This equates to 1,598 fewer victims of crime in our communities.

The figures also highlight that certain types of crime are being effectively tackled and continue to fall, with the following positive results:

•Robbery has been reduced by 11% – with 15 fewer victims compared to the same period last year

•Burglary has been reduced by 5% – with 241 fewer victims

•Vehicle crime has been reduced by 16% – with 518 fewer victims

•Theft from a person has been reduced by 9% – with 49 fewer victims

•Cycle theft has been reduced by 4% – with 59 fewer victims

•Drug offences have been reduced by 8% – with 166 fewer crimes

•Possession of offensive weapons have been reduced by 24% – with 50 fewer crimes

Reports of sexual offences have increased by 16%, which officers believe is due to more victims having the confidence to come forward and tell the police, thanks to improved facilities such as North Yorkshire Police’s Sexual Assault Referral Centre (SARC).
