The crime figures from Police.uk – the national website for policing in England – are released with a two-month delay, and we can now reveal the 16 worst streets in the city for shoplifting in July 2024.
They are based on reports made in South Yorkshire Police’s four Sheffield policing districts: Sheffield North East; Sheffield Central and North West; Sheffield South East and Sheffield South West.
The police.uk data states that the crimes have been reported ‘on or near’ a specific street or location.
Shoplifting is when goods are taken without payment from a place that members of the public has access to.
If a person has entered an area that members of the public do not have access to, and items have been stolen, this would be classified as a burglary.
Call South Yorkshire Police on 101 to report a crime.
In an emergency, call 999.
