The Police UK figures are from the start of September 2025 until the end of August 2026, and are based on Sheffield being divided into 70 neighbourhoods.
The gallery below shows the 14 places with the highest burglary rate per 1,000 residents in those figures.
If the number of break-ins per 1,000 households is equal in two areas, we used the total number of break-ins to separate them in the rankings.
The photos that we have used are for illustrative purposes only and figures do not refer to any individual buildings or streets.
To avoid becoming a victim of burglars, South Yorkshire Police recommend:
> Ensuring all doors are locked, even if you are inside your home. Burglars will be looking for open doors as an easy opportunity to slip in
> Ensuring any side gates or outer buildings, like sheds and garages, are locked and secure where possible
> Considering installing a home CCTV and monitor light system
> Installing a burglar alarm, and set it when you leave your home
> Fitting a steering wheel lock on your vehicles, even if they are parked on your driveway
> Ensuring any spare car keys are stored in a safe place, away from your front door
> If you are planning on leaving your home to take a holiday, ask a neighbour or friend to check on your property and keep an eye out for any suspicious behaviour
