Ever wondered how safe your area really is?

Crime data from Essex Police has revealed the most dangerous streets in Chelmsford.

The force released information about every single incident reported around the city in April, including where they were called to, what they were called about, and the result of the investigation (if there is one).

We have turned these stats into an interactive map showing where each crime took place during that month, street by street, and the outcome.

Different colours represent different types of crime: light green for violent and sexual offences, orange for public order offences, dark purple for anti-social behaviour, yellow for theft, dark blue for vehicle crime, light blue for drugs, khaki for shoplifting, and light purple for any other type of crime.

Take a look at the full map below, and click on the pins for more information about each incident.
