Sileby Crime Rate October 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Sileby's crime rate in October 2025 was 6.7 per 1,000 residents, placing the area 13% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. This position reflects a combination of demographic and geographic factors characteristic of a built-up area within Charnwood, where community density and local initiatives may contribute to lower rates. Violence and sexual offences accounted for the largest share of reported crimes (33.3%), followed by anti-social behaviour (17.5%) and public order offences (15.8%). These figures contrast with the UK average for public order offences, which are 108% lower in Sileby, though local rates for this category remain elevated. The seasonal context of October—marked by shorter days, the transition to British Summer Time, and Halloween—may have influenced patterns, particularly in public order and shoplifting. While the overall crime rate remains below the UK average, the area's crime profile illustrates a combination of local dynamics and national trends. The relative safety of Sileby compared to the UK average could be attributed to factors such as community engagement, local policing strategies, or the area's character as a smaller, more tightly knit built-up area. However, the notable increase in public order offences suggests that targeted measures may be needed to address specific challenges in this category.

October 2025 saw a 100% increase in robbery cases, rising from zero to one reported incident, a rare but notable spike. Public order offences also surged by 80%, jumping from five to nine incidents, a figure that exceeds the UK average by 108%. This contrast with the 26.9% decrease in violence and sexual offences, which fell from 26 to 19 cases, suggests a shift in criminal activity patterns. Shoplifting increased by 25%, from four to five incidents, though this remains 5% below the UK average. The decline in criminal damage and arson, down 40% to six cases, may reflect seasonal factors such as reduced outdoor activity during darker evenings. These fluctuations underscore the need for targeted interventions in public order management while the overall trend of lower violent crime offers a potential area for continued success.

Sileby's crime rate in October 2025 stood at 6.7 per 1,000 residents, marking an 8.1% decrease from the previous month's 7.3 per 1,000. This decline, though modest, aligns with a broader trend of reduced criminal activity in built-up areas during the autumn season. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately two crimes per day, a figure that translates to a monthly exposure rate of one reported crime for every 149 residents. Given Sileby's population of 8,468, this suggests a relatively low level of risk compared to the UK average, though local factors such as community policing efforts or seasonal changes may contribute to this pattern. The monthly exposure statistic provides a useful benchmark for residents, illustrating that the likelihood of experiencing a crime in Sileby remains lower than the national average but requires ongoing attention to specific categories like public order offences, which remain high.
