Enderby and Narborough Crime Rate April 2024 | Monthly Statistics

For a population of 11,973, Enderby and Narborough recorded 130 crimes in April 2024, translating to a crime rate of 10.9 per 1,000 residents—41.6% higher than the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. This places the area in stark contrast to national trends, with local crime patterns dominated by violent and property-related incidents. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 30.8% of all crimes (40 incidents), followed by shoplifting (26 incidents, 20.0% of total) and public order offences (16 incidents, 12.3% of total). These figures align with seasonal factors, as April’s Easter period and spring weather likely contributed to increased outdoor activity, potentially influencing crime dynamics. The area’s shoplifting rate of 2.2 per 1,000 residents—228% above the UK average—suggests a specific challenge in retail environments, possibly linked to the built-up area’s proximity to commercial hubs. Meanwhile, anti-social behaviour (1.1 per 1,000) was the only category below the UK average, though by a narrow margin (10% below). The overall profile indicates a community grappling with elevated rates of violence and property crime, which may be exacerbated by local factors such as the built-up nature of the area and the timing of seasonal events. This context underscores the need for targeted interventions to address the most pressing crime types while considering the interplay between environmental and demographic characteristics.

April 2024 saw a sharp increase in vehicle crime, with incidents rising by 233.3% compared to the previous month, from three to ten. This surge may be linked to increased outdoor activity during the Easter period and spring weather, which could have encouraged more vehicles being left unattended in public spaces. Other theft also experienced a significant rise, increasing by 175.0% as the category moved from four to eleven incidents. This category’s elevated rate of 0.9 per 1,000 residents—61% above the UK average—suggests potential vulnerabilities in personal property security. Conversely, burglary and drug-related crimes both fell by 50.0% compared to March, indicating a possible temporary reduction in targeted residential or illicit activities. Public order offences, though still above the UK average, decreased slightly by 15.8%, from 19 to 16. These fluctuations highlight the dynamic nature of crime patterns in the area, with certain categories showing marked volatility while others remain consistently elevated relative to national benchmarks.

In April 2024, Enderby and Narborough recorded a crime rate of 10.9 per 1,000 residents, marking a 17.2% increase from the previous month's rate of 9.3 per 1,000. This upward trend places the area significantly above the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000, with the gap widening further this month. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately four crimes per day, a figure that highlights the persistent presence of criminal activity in a relatively small population of 11,973. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 92 residents, a monthly exposure rate that underscores the frequency of incidents relative to the community size. While the area's crime rate has risen compared to March, the context of a localised population means that the impact of these figures is felt more acutely by residents. This rate also contrasts with the UK average, where the national context dilutes the per capita impact of similar numbers. The combination of these factors suggests that localised issues, such as specific community dynamics or environmental factors, may be contributing to the elevated rates observed in this month.
