Enderby and Narborough Crime Rate October 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Violence and sexual offences accounted for 30.4% of reported crimes in Enderby and Narborough in October 2025, making this category the dominant force in local crime statistics. With a total crime rate of 13.5 per 1,000 residents — 75.3% above the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000 — the area’s profile reflects a significant divergence from national trends. The breakdown shows that violence and sexual offences (4.1 per 1,000) and shoplifting (2.8 per 1,000) are both well above UK averages, with the latter category being 344% higher. This pattern suggests a combination of factors, including the area’s built-up character and the seasonal context of October, when darker evenings and Halloween-related activities may contribute to increased incidents. Anti-social behaviour (2.3 per 1,000) also remains high, 83% above the UK average, potentially linked to the density of the built-up area and the proximity of public spaces. While the overall crime rate is elevated, the distribution across categories illustrates a combination of local conditions and broader national trends.

October 2025 saw a sharp 100% increase in drugs-related crimes, with two incidents reported compared to zero in September. This jump, though small in absolute terms, may reflect seasonal shifts or changes in local policing patterns. Vehicle crime also rose by 100% (3 to 6 incidents), potentially linked to increased foot traffic during the Halloween period or changes in parking practices. Conversely, bicycle theft fell by 75% (from 4 to 1), due to seasonal factors or improved security measures. The crime mix shows a significant skew toward property-related offences: 63 property crimes (39.1% of total) versus 49 violent crimes (30.4%), a 12.2 percentage point difference. This contrast with the UK average, where property crimes typically make up a smaller share, highlights a distinct local pattern. Shoplifting, at 2.8 per 1,000 residents, remains 344% above the UK average (0.6 per 1,000), suggesting that retail areas or high-traffic zones in Enderby and Narborough may be particularly vulnerable to this type of offence.

The crime rate in Enderby and Narborough rose by 8.1% in October 2025 compared to the previous month’s rate of 12.4 per 1,000, reflecting a slight but notable upward trend. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately 5 crimes per day in October — a figure that, while not alarmingly high, underscores the persistent presence of criminal activity in a built-up area. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 74 residents, illustrating the frequency of incidents relative to the local population of 11,973. This monthly exposure rate provides context for residents, showing that while the area is not the most crime-ridden in the UK, it remains significantly above national averages. The population-scaled perspective also highlights the disparity between Enderby and Narborough’s experience and the UK average: for every 1,000 residents, the area faces 13.5 crimes compared to the UK’s 7.7. This gap, particularly in categories like violence and shoplifting, suggests that local factors — such as the density of the built-up area or seasonal influences — play a role in shaping crime patterns distinct from the broader UK context.
