Attleborough Crime Rate April 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Attleborough’s crime rate in April 2025 stood at 4.4 per 1,000, placing it 42.9% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. This figure reflects a persistent trend of lower-than-national-average crime levels, a pattern consistent with the area’s character as a built-up district within Breckland, where a mix of residential and commercial spaces may contribute to a more stable crime environment. The most common crimes were violence and sexual offences (51.8% of total), followed by anti-social behaviour (17.9%) and criminal damage and arson (5.4%).

While violence and sexual offences rose by 26.1% compared to March, the rate of these crimes remains 12% below the UK average. This contrast with the UK’s broader trends suggests that local factors, such as community engagement or policing strategies, may play a role in sustaining lower crime levels despite seasonal fluctuations.
