This map uses data from local forces. The hotspots give only a loose idea of where crimes happened. Actual locations and details of crimes are kept anonymous.

Please note that not all crimes that occurred can be shown on the map. 

831 incidents of #CrimeCategory# occurred in Metropolitan Police Service could not be mapped to a location and therefore are not on this map. Learn more about how data is managed on police.uk.

Location anonymisation is accurate to 2012 population and housing developments.

Known issues with forces' data are set out in the changelog on data.police.uk.
