Enderby and Narborough Crime Rate January 2026 | Monthly Statistics

Enderby and Narborough's crime rate of 14.5 per 1,000 residents in January 2026 places the area 113.2% above the UK average of 6.8 per 1,000, highlighting a persistent disparity between local and national crime profiles. The breakdown of incidents reveals a stark emphasis on violent and property-related crimes, with violence and sexual offences accounting for nearly 30% of all reported crimes—far exceeding the UK average for this category. Shoplifting, at 3.3 per 1,000, emerges as the second most prevalent crime, with rates 479% higher than the national figure, suggesting challenges in retail security or community engagement. Anti-social behaviour, contributing 13.8% of incidents, further compounds the pressure on local policing resources. These figures align with seasonal context: January, a post-holiday period marked by reduced retail footfall and shorter daylight hours, likely contributes to the lower prevalence of outdoor crimes. However, the elevated rates of violent crime and shoplifting suggest structural issues, such as socioeconomic factors or demographic imbalances, that may require deeper analysis. The area's built-up nature within Blaby, combined with its relatively small population, may exacerbate these trends by concentrating incidents in limited spaces. While the overall rate remains stable compared to previous months, the disproportionate emphasis on violent crime and property theft indicates a need for targeted interventions to address underlying vulnerabilities.

January 2026 saw notable shifts in crime patterns, with burglary incidents surging by 100% compared to December, rising from zero to six reported cases. This increase, though small in absolute terms, signals a potential uptick in residential vulnerabilities, possibly linked to seasonal factors such as post-holiday homecomings or temporary absences. Conversely, bicycle theft decreased by 50%, dropping from two to one incident, a reduction that may reflect improved community awareness or the impact of winter weather on outdoor activities. The area's violent crime rate remained alarmingly high, with violence and sexual offences accounting for 29.9% of all reported crimes—72% above the UK average. This concentration of violent incidents, alongside shoplifting's 479% excess over national rates, underscores persistent challenges in retail and public safety management. Criminal damage and arson fell by 42.9% from December, a decline that may align with shorter daylight hours reducing opportunities for such offences.

Enderby and Narborough's crime rate rose slightly to 14.5 per 1,000 in January 2026, marking a 4.8% increase from December's 13.9 per 1,000. This places the area significantly above the UK average of 6.8 per 1,000, though the monthly rate remains consistent with prior trends. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately six crimes per day, reflecting a steady rhythm of incidents despite seasonal changes. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 69 residents, a figure that underscores the frequency of incidents within a relatively small population of 11,973. This monthly exposure rate, while concerning, does not account for variations in daily patterns or localized hotspots. The population context further highlights the need for targeted interventions, as the rate of crime per capita remains high compared to national benchmarks, suggesting underlying factors such as community dynamics or environmental conditions may contribute to the persistent gap.
