Official figures have revealed the Sheffield neighbourhoods with the worst records for people being found carrying weapons on the streets.
Figures from Police UK have been divided into 70 areas of the city, showing the rate of ‘possession of weapon’ incidents in each of those.
And we have listed the places in Sheffield for that crime in the gallery below, taken from figures for September 2025 to August 2026.
The figure used for the ranking is the number of incidents per 1,000 residents in that neighbourhood.
We have also included the overall number of incidents in that area.
The 13 neighbourhoods with the most incidents are listed in the gallery below. The area with the largest number is listed last.
The type of weapon is not specified in the figures, so could include guns or knives, or other weapons.
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.
