The latest Police.uk data for the local search radius around Nottingham’s city‑centre point recorded 1,582 reported incidents in August 2026. Violent crime, with 463 incidents, accounted for the largest share of reported offences, followed by anti‑social behaviour (251) and shoplifting (233). Public order incidents (119), other theft (103) and criminal damage/arson (73) also featured prominently, while drug offences (73), robbery (60), vehicle crime (67) and burglary (59) made up the remaining categories.
The geographic breakdown shows a concentration of incidents around key commercial and entertainment venues. The Shopping Area topped the list with 113 reported incidents, and the Parking Area recorded 95. Nightclub‑related reports (51) and Maypole Yard (43) reflected activity linked to nightlife, while the Bus/coach Station (38) and South Parade (25) also saw notable figures. Other locations such as Angel Row (28), Supermarket (27) and Milton Street (23) contributed to the overall total, indicating that both retail and transit hubs experienced elevated crime reports.
These figures apply specifically to the Police.uk local search area around the configured city‑centre point and do not represent crime levels across the entire city or wider local‑authority area. The data covers only reported crimes and is subject to a typical 2‑3 month reporting lag, meaning some incidents recorded in August may have occurred earlier. The Nottingham Chronicle will continue to monitor local crime patterns and keep residents informed as new data become available. Source: Police.uk under the Open Government Licence v3.0.
