Where crime was reported in Sevenoaks
Police map each report to the nearest street, road or landmark rather than an exact address, so these are the places with the most reports near them in the month, not the only places anything happened:
- Parking Area: 13 reports
- High Street: 4 reports
- Buckhurst Avenue: 3 reports
- Supermarket: 3 reports
- Theatre/concert Hall: 2 reports
What happened to these cases
The single most common outcome recorded was “under investigation” (21 cases). Outcomes can take time to be added to the data, so the most recent month usually shows a high share of cases still under investigation or awaiting an outcome.
