Almost 700 violent and sexual offences were reported to police in Coventry in a single month.

Around a third of those reported crimes - which can include the likes of rape, sexual assault, common assault and grievous bodily harm - were from just two police areas in the city.

Statistics from police.uk show that there were 698 incidents of violence or sexual offences recorded in Coventry in May 2018 - the most recent figures available.

The most prolific areas in the city for reported incidents were St Michael's and Stoke & Wyken which both saw 117 crimes logged by West Midlands Police.

The 'Crime Map' section of the police.uk website allows you to see how many incident were reported in your area - and even your street if applicable - with a breakdown of types of offences and what stage the investigation is at.
