Where records cluster in BT55
Records by part of BT55: the north-west 176, the south 94, the west 71, the south-west 42, the north-east 29, the north 14, the east 4.
North is at the top. Each hexagon is about 270 m across, the size the crime map uses zoomed in, and holds at least one of BT55's postcodes; darker ones hold more records. Hexagons at the edge also hold records from neighbouring districts, and BT55's records placed outside these hexagons are not drawn, so the map's counts won't add up to the page's total. Police place each record at an approximate public point, so this shows which parts of BT55 records cluster in, not where incidents happened. Explore BT55 on the crime map.

About 36 records a month. The busiest month was February 2026, with 56.
Records here changed by +1.9% on the 12 months before, against +4.8% across the Police Service of Northern Ireland area over the same months. With 436 records a year, a change of a few percent can be chance.
Anti-social behaviour is the largest category, at 38.3% of records, against 15.7% across England and Wales over the same months.
The records can't tell you about crime nobody reported, which street in BT55 a record came from, or how a place feels at different times of day. See the limits to keep in mind.
Limits to keep in mind
Published locations are approximate; they are snapped to anonymous map points before release, and each record is assigned to a district by its nearest postcode. Counts near district boundaries are indicative.
These are counts of published police records, not all crime, and not a safety score.
Outcome labels in the source data are not court results or conviction rates.
Figures below come from official open datasets, joined on postcode. Sources are listed on the
