Sheffield crime: The 12 worst streets in the city for shoplifting - is your area on the list?

The scourge of shoplifting affects businesses located across Sheffield.

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 9 worst streets in the city for violence and sexual offences in June 2023.

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.
