Enderby and Narborough Crime Rate April 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For a population of 11,973 residents, 124 crimes were recorded in April 2025, equating to one reported crime for every 97 residents over the course of the month. This rate of 10.4 crimes per 1,000 people places Enderby and Narborough 35.1% above the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. The most common crimes were shoplifting (28.2% of total), anti-social behaviour (21.0%), and violent and sexual offences (18.6%). These figures align with patterns typical of small, mixed communities where high street retail activity and public spaces contribute to specific crime types. April’s Easter period and spring weather likely influenced activity levels, with increased foot traffic in local shops and public areas potentially contributing to shoplifting and anti-social behaviour. The area’s crime profile shows a strong property crime focus, with property crimes making up 50% of the total, compared to 23% for violent crimes. This balance is consistent with built-up areas where retail and community hubs drive property-related incidents. While the overall rate is elevated compared to the UK, certain categories like violence and sexual offences are 27% below the UK average, suggesting local factors may temper some crime types.

April 2025 saw dramatic shifts in crime trends, with bicycle theft surging 300% (from 1 to 4 incidents) and other theft increasing 275% (from 4 to 15). These spikes may reflect seasonal patterns, as spring weather encourages outdoor activity and increased use of bicycles. Conversely, burglary fell 90.9% compared to March, with only one incident recorded this month against 11 in March, likely due to heightened awareness or seasonal deterrence factors. Anti-social behaviour remained a significant concern, with 26 incidents (21.0% of total) and a 65% increase above the UK average of 1.3 per 1,000. This category’s prominence could be linked to local social dynamics or community events. Violent crimes, while still present at 23 incidents, were 27% below the UK average, due to the area’s character as a relatively low-density built-up area. The sharp rise in other theft (160% above UK average) suggests targeted opportunities in unsecured premises or public spaces, a pattern often seen in areas with mixed-use development.

The crime rate in April 2025 (10.4 per 1,000) represents a 12.6% decrease from March’s 11.9 per 1,000, marking a notable downward trend. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately 4 crimes per day in April, a figure that contextualises the volume of incidents within the community’s rhythm. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 97 residents, a monthly exposure rate that, while higher than the UK average, reflects the area’s specific challenges. When scaled to the population of 11,973, the 124 crimes recorded highlight the proportion of residents affected by crime each month. This rate is higher than the UK average but shows a consistent pattern of fluctuation seen in similar-sized built-up areas. The comparison to the UK average underscores the need for targeted interventions, particularly in addressing shoplifting and anti-social behaviour, which are elevated in this area. However, the decline in burglary and public order offences suggests that some local measures may be having an effect, even as other categories rise sharply.
