There were 54 reports of 'violence and sexual offences' in Falmouth during one month alone this summer. 

Police in Devon and Cornwall have released data on the number and kind of crimes taking place in Falmouth throughout June 2022 - the most recent data available.

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, robbery, criminal damage and arson, public order offences, shoplifting, violence and sexual offences, drugs, vehicle crime, bicycle theft, 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 are violence and sexual crimes, anti-social behaviour, and shoplifting.
