Enderby and Narborough Crime Rate July 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Enderby and Narborough's crime rate in July 2025 stood at 10.9 per 1,000 residents, 26.7% above the UK average of 8.6. This discrepancy highlights the area's unique position within national crime trends, where local factors appear to amplify certain types of criminal activity. The breakdown reveals shoplifting as the most prevalent crime, accounting for 29.8% of all incidents, followed by violence and sexual offences (25.2%) and anti-social behaviour (20.6%). These figures are strikingly divergent from the UK average, with shoplifting rates 408% higher and anti-social behaviour 48% above the national benchmark. The seasonal context of July—peak summer, with schools out, festivals, and outdoor events—likely contributes to these patterns. Retail centres and high streets in Enderby and Narborough, which are likely focal points for both tourism and local commerce, may drive shoplifting during this period. Similarly, the rise in anti-social behaviour could be linked to increased social gatherings and the challenges of managing public spaces during peak tourist season. While the overall rate remains elevated compared to the UK, the area's crime profile is shaped by its role as a built-up area within Blaby, where community dynamics and local infrastructure play a significant role in shaping criminal activity. This month's data underscores the need for targeted interventions that address both the immediate pressures of summer activity and the longer-term structural factors influencing crime trends.

July saw an 18.2% increase in shoplifting, with 39 incidents reported—3.3 per 1,000 residents, 408% above the UK average. This surge aligns with summer tourism and retail activity in the area. Anti-social behaviour rose by 35%, from 20 to 27 incidents, a trend that may reflect the area's seasonal dynamics, with schools out and festivals drawing larger crowds. Conversely, vehicle crime fell by 80%, from 5 to 1 incident, possibly due to reduced foot traffic or temporary changes in parking patterns. Violence and sexual offences, at 33 incidents (2.8 per 1,000), were 8% below the UK average, a contrast to the sharp rise in property-related crimes. This imbalance suggests shifting priorities among offenders without further data.

Enderby and Narborough's crime rate in July 2025 rose to 10.9 per 1,000 residents, a 6.5% increase from June's 10.3. This places the area 26.7% above the UK average of 8.6, a gap that has widened over recent months. Locally, this equates to roughly 4 crimes reported each day, a figure that, while not alarmingly high, underscores the need for consistent community engagement. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 91 residents, a monthly exposure rate that highlights the frequency of incidents within this built-up area. The population of 11,973 means each resident faces a slightly higher risk compared to the national average, though localised factors such as seasonal activity and community dynamics likely play a role in this disparity. The drop in vehicle crime by 80% compared to June suggests temporary shifts in criminal activity, possibly linked to summer holidays or changes in local traffic patterns.
