The latest Police.uk data for the local search area centred on Nottingham city centre recorded 1,768 reported incidents in July 2026. Violent crime accounted for the largest share with 513 incidents, followed by shoplifting with 288 reports and anti‑social behaviour with 243. Together these three categories made up more than half of all recorded offences, while other‑theft (114), public order (148) and criminal damage/arson (109) also contributed significant numbers. Lower, but still notable, figures were seen for drug offences (70), robbery (62), burglary (63) and vehicle crime (72).
Geographically, the data reveal clear concentration points. The Parking Area recorded the highest number of incidents (104), followed closely by the Shopping Area (96) and South Parade (45). Nightclub‑related locations and Clare Street each reported around 35 incidents, while Warser Gate and Clinton Street West each logged 31. Smaller clusters appeared around further/ higher educational buildings, sports/recreation areas, and bus/coach stations, reflecting the diverse mix of activity in the city centre.
These figures cover only reported crimes within the Police.uk local search radius around the configured city‑centre point and do not represent the whole city or the wider local‑authority area. They are also subject to a typical 2‑3 month reporting lag, meaning some incidents may be recorded after the period shown. The data are sourced from Police.uk under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Nottingham Chronicle will continue to monitor local crime patterns and keep readers informed as further updates are released.
