Citroen

The overall crime rate for Citroen is a ever so slightly worse than the national average. That’s easily attributable to one factor – vans. Citroen produces plenty of vans and they typically have high rates of ‘theft from’ because they’re used to transport valuable items like tools, equipment and electronics – easy targets for thieves.

The Berlingo Multispace and Nemo Multispace don't appear in the list, they have been combined with Berlingo and Nemo van entries. This is down to the possibility of human error – police officers and even owners of those vehicles would more than likely call them simply ‘Berlingo’ or ‘Nemo.’ If we left them as separate models the Multispace variants would have incorrectly low crime rates.

However, with the Xsara Picasso being fairly distinct compared to the regular Xsara hatchback, we haven't combined them into one entry. But there is a possibility of confusion with the two and consequently the crime rate for the Xsara Picasso at the top of the table should be taken with a pinch of salt.
