Quorndon Crime Rate February 2026 | Monthly Statistics

February 2026 marked a notable shift in Quorndon’s crime profile, with violence and sexual offences surging by 700% to become the most prevalent category. This spike, alongside a 200% rise in anti-social behaviour, highlights a dramatic month-on-month swing that overshadows other trends. The overall crime rate of 3.5 per 1,000 residents, while 45.3% below the UK average of 6.4 per 1,000, underscores the area’s consistently low crime levels. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 42.1% of total crimes, followed by shoplifting (15.8%) and anti-social behaviour (15.8%). These figures align with Quorndon’s status as a built-up area within Charnwood, where retail and community hubs may influence specific crime types. Seasonal factors, such as February’s low outdoor activity and pre-spring lull, likely contributed to the volatility in violent crime, though the area’s infrastructure and population density appear to moderate broader UK trends. Shoplifting, while remaining 3% above the UK average of 0.6 per 1,000, was relatively minor compared to the sharp rise in violence. Anti-social behaviour, though up 200%, still sits 34% below the UK average, suggesting localised challenges that may stem from community dynamics or enforcement patterns. The data also shows a 75% drop in drug-related crimes, which could indicate seasonal or temporary changes in illicit activity. These findings illustrate the interplay between local conditions and national crime trends, offering insights into how Quorndon’s unique character shapes its monthly crime profile.

February 2026 saw a 700% increase in violence and sexual offences, rising from 1 to 8 incidents—a stark deviation from the previous month’s pattern. This category, now accounting for 42.1% of all crimes, remains 35% below the UK average of 2.3 per 1,000, illustrating a combination of local factors and national trends. Anti-social behaviour also rose sharply by 200%, from 1 to 3 incidents, though it remains 34% below the UK average. Conversely, drug-related crimes fell by 75%, from 4 to 1, a drop that may reflect seasonal patterns or local enforcement efforts. The crime mix shifted significantly, with violent crimes (8) now outpacing property crimes (6), a reversal of the previous month’s balance. For residents, the 1-in-285 monthly exposure rate offers a tangible metric of risk, though the overall rate remains well below UK levels.

Quorndon's crime rate in February 2026 rose 26.7% from the previous month, moving from 2.8 to 3.5 per 1,000 residents. This increase, though significant, remains 45.3% below the UK average of 6.4 per 1,000. Locally, the daily crime count averaged 1 crime per day over 28 days, a figure that translates to one reported crime for roughly every 285 residents over the course of the month. While this monthly exposure rate is low, it reflects the area’s built-up character within Charnwood, where population density and infrastructure may influence reporting patterns. The shift from the previous month highlights seasonal dynamics, as February’s low outdoor activity and pre-spring lull may have altered crime distribution, though the overall rate remains well below national benchmarks. The population of 5,412 further contextualises these figures, showing that even with a 26.7% rise, the area’s crime profile remains relatively stable compared to broader UK trends.
