Mountsorrel Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Violence and sexual offences dominated Mountsorrel’s crime profile in November 2025, accounting for 45.6% of all reported incidents. This category, with a rate of 1.9 per 1,000 residents, was 26% below the UK average, suggesting local factors may be curbing violent crime. The overall crime rate of 4.1 per 1,000 residents—43.8% below the UK average—reflects a broader pattern of low-level crime in this rural built-up area. Anti-social behaviour, at 0.5 per 1,000, and other theft (0.3 per 1,000) followed as the next most common categories, both significantly underperforming national averages. Seasonal dynamics likely influenced these trends: the onset of shorter evenings and the timing of Bonfire Night may have reduced opportunities for public disorder while increasing visibility in certain areas. Conversely, the presence of retail activity during Black Friday could have contributed to shoplifting incidents. compared to October. The area’s character—blending rural tranquillity with small-town infrastructure—may explain its relatively low crime rates, particularly for property-related offences. However, the prominence of violence and sexual offences highlights a need for targeted interventions, such as community engagement programmes or improved lighting in high-traffic zones. These findings align with Mountsorrel’s historical data, which consistently shows lower crime rates than the UK average, particularly for burglary and vehicle crime. The month’s data also underscores the impact of seasonal events on crime patterns, with November’s unique combination of festive activities and reduced daylight hours shaping the landscape of reported incidents.

November 2025 saw a sharp decline in burglary, with incidents falling from 8 to 1—an 87.5% drop that contrasts with a surge in other crime categories. This shift may reflect seasonal patterns, as darker evenings and the timing of Bonfire Night could have deterred property-related offences while increasing opportunities for other types of crime. Other crime, drugs, and robbery each saw 100% increases, with three new incidents reported in these categories. These rises, though small in absolute terms, may signal emerging trends or isolated incidents that warrant local scrutiny. Meanwhile, anti-social behaviour fell by 65% (from 20 to 7), linked to reduced public gatherings during the month. The dominance of violence and sexual offences—accounting for 45.6% of all crimes—remains a key concern, as this category is 26% below the UK average. This suggests local factors, such as community policing or demographic characteristics, may be influencing this trend.

Mountsorrel's crime rate in November 2025 fell to 4.1 per 1,000 residents, a 36.7% decline from the previous month’s rate of 6.4 per 1,000. This drop aligns with a broader trend of reduced property crimes, particularly burglary, which plummeted by 87.5% (from 8 to 1). Daily crime figures show 2 incidents reported per day on average, a rate that remains significantly lower than the UK average. Over the course of November, one crime occurred for every 247 residents—a statistic that underscores the area’s relatively low exposure compared to national benchmarks. The population context further highlights this: with 14,058 residents, the community’s compact size likely contributes to quicker police response times and stronger local awareness, which may help deter crime. While the daily rate appears modest, November’s seasonal factors—such as shorter evenings and reduced foot traffic during Bonfire Night—could have temporarily suppressed certain types of crime, particularly those linked to public spaces.
