Reported crime in Bournemouth has seen a significant increase this summer - compared to the same period last year. 

Anti social behaviour saw the largest spike with an increase of more than 30 per cent compared to last year.

The number of reported criminal damage, public order and violence and sexual offences also increased.

In comparison to the same period last year, overall reports of crime in the town have increased from 13,522 in 2019 to 14,587 in 2020, according to the latest police statistics. 

The graph shows how many crimes were reported in June and July 2019 compared to the same period this year. 

From the data it is clear to see that anti social behaviour saw a major increase of more than 30 per cent compared to last year. 

This could be due to the government reopening pubs and bars from July 4 and more people rushing to visit the beach.

BCP Council reported a major incident in June after hundreds of thousands people flocked to the area during lockdown.

The number of reported public order offences also increased from 603 last summer to 721 this year.

However, shoplifting has seen a dramatic decrease of around 20 per cent. This could be a direct result of covid shopping restrictions and less people frequenting stores in the town. 

The reported number of burglaries also fell. The increase in people working at home and not travelling abroad or otherwise for holidays thought to be a deterrent. 

The number of reported violence and sexual offences has maintained at a high rate with a slight increase of just over 100 compared to last year. 

Reports of robbery and drugs related offences remained low but did see a small increase in comparison to last year.
