July 2026 saw 956 reported incidents within the Police.uk local search radius around the configured city‑centre point, according to data released under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Violent crime accounted for the largest share, with 374 incidents – more than a third of all reports. Shoplifting was the second most common category, recording 142 incidents, while other‑theft and public‑order offences each contributed 65 incidents. Together, these four categories made up nearly two‑thirds of all recorded crime during the month.
Geographically, the Parking Area was the most frequently mentioned location, appearing in 126 incident reports, followed by the Shopping Area with 79 reports and Ironmonger Row with 55 reports. The Supermarket was cited 43 times, while locations such as the Nightclub, Bus/coach Station, and Theatre/concert Hall each recorded a smaller number of incidents, suggesting that crime concentrations are highest in commercial and retail zones rather than in entertainment venues.
These figures reflect the Police.uk local search area around the configured city‑centre point and do not represent crime levels across the entire city or the wider local‑authority area. The data cover reported crimes only and are subject to a typical 2‑3 month reporting lag, meaning the numbers may be updated as additional reports are processed. Coventry Chronicle will continue to monitor local crime patterns and provide updates as new information becomes available.
