The most recent figures available, published by Police UK, have shown the parts of Sheffield which saw the most reports of crime involving cars and other vehicles between September 2024 and August 2025.
They are based on the city being divided up into 70 neighbourhoods.
Our gallery, below, shows the 14 neighbourhoods which have the worst figures for vehicle crime during that time, which includes both thefts of cars and other types of vehicles themselves, and incidents of thefts of items from cars.
The figures show both the total number of reports of incidents of vehicle crime, and the number as a rate per 1,000 residents.
We have ranked the figures by the number of reports per 1,000 residents. If those two neighbourhoods were equal, we took into account the overall number for the neighbourhood.
The figures are based on where the incidents occurred, not where they were reported from. The photos are for illustrative purposes only and figures do not refer to any individual buildings or streets.
