AS PART of a monthly series the Hereford Times is charting every crime in the county on an interactive map for readers to stay on top of what is happening and where.
This month, our map reveals the location of every crime reported to West Mercia Police in March 2021 (the latest available full month of data).
The map shows location, type of offence, and outcome or current status of the police investigation.
