Enderby and Narborough Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

November 2025 saw Enderby and Narborough's crime rate reach 15.1 per 1,000 residents, more than doubling the UK average of 7.3. This built-up area within Blaby exhibits a stark imbalance between property and violent crime, with shoplifting accounting for 46.4% of all reported incidents—by far the most common category. Violent crimes, while lower in proportion (21.6%), still represent a significant portion of the total, with 39 incidents recorded. The dominance of property crime aligns with the area’s characteristics as a small urban centre with retail hubs and high streets, factors that likely contribute to the surge in shoplifting. Seasonal events such as Black Friday shopping and Bonfire Night may have exacerbated this trend. Anti-social behaviour, at 9.4% of total crimes, also highlights the community’s challenges with public disorder, possibly linked to local nightlife or seasonal social dynamics. The UK comparison reveals a concerning gap: Enderby and Narborough’s rate is 106.8% above the national average, underscoring a need for targeted interventions. While violent crime rates are 28% above the UK average, property crime’s disproportionate weight suggests a focus on retail security and consumer behaviour could yield meaningful reductions. whether these trends will persist into December, but the seasonal context of late November—dark evenings and holiday shopping—may continue to shape crime patterns.

November 2025 marked a sharp increase in property crime, with shoplifting surging by 147.1% compared to October, rising from 34 to 84 incidents. This spike, which places shoplifting at 7.0 per 1,000 residents—1011% above the UK average—illustrates a clear divergence from national trends. Other theft also saw a dramatic rise, doubling from 5 to 12 cases (+140%), while bicycle theft more than doubled from 1 to 2 (+100%). These increases may partly explain the area’s overall crime rate, which is 106.8% above the UK average. Conversely, some categories saw declines: criminal damage and arson fell by 64.3% (14 to 5), and vehicle crime dropped by 50% (6 to 3), possibly reflecting seasonal shifts or targeted policing efforts. The property-to-violent crime ratio in Enderby and Narborough remains heavily skewed, with property crime making up 60% of all incidents compared to 21.6% for violence and sexual offences. This imbalance is consistent with the area’s character as a small urban centre with retail presence, where shoplifting and theft are more prevalent than violent crime. For residents, the most immediate concern is the sharp rise in shoplifting, which may indicate a need for enhanced retail security measures during peak shopping periods.

Enderby and Narborough’s crime rate in November 2025 (15.1 per 1,000) reflects a 12.4% increase from the previous month’s rate of 13.5, highlighting a growing trend that warrants attention. On a daily basis, the area recorded roughly 6 crimes per day—equivalent to one crime for every 66 residents over the course of the month. This monthly exposure figure, while not directly comparable to UK-wide statistics, underscores the local impact of crime on the community. The population context reveals that, in a town of 11,973 residents, the crime rate is significantly higher than the UK average, with property crimes dominating the landscape. While some categories, such as criminal damage and arson, fell below the UK average by 25%, the overall rate remains markedly elevated. This contrast suggests that while certain aspects of crime may be managed effectively, the surge in shoplifting and other property-related offences continues to drive the area’s rate above national levels. The comparison to the previous month also highlights the need for sustained efforts to address the underlying factors contributing to the rising crime rate, particularly in retail and public spaces where property crime is most concentrated.
