Jetty Street, which is one of the oldest streets in Cromer and has a rich history tied to the town's fishing heritage, also makes the list but with anti-social behaviour as the leading crime type.

Hamilton Road and the residential streets Hans Place and Vicarage Road are the last three, with burglary, criminal damage, and violent crime all reported across the year.

Other location types such as supermarkets, petrol stations, and parking areas were excluded because they do not correspond to specific named streets, despite their high numbers.

Police also urge caution when interpreting the data. Crime locations on Police.uk are approximate, snapped to the nearest pre‑defined map point.

Overall, the town had an annual crime rate of 96.7 per 1,000 residents which is deemed low in comparison to others across the country.
