Alsager Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

June 2025 saw Alsager maintain a significantly lower crime rate than the UK average, with 4.5 crimes per 1,000 residents compared to the national figure of 8.1. This places the area 44.4% below the UK average, a consistent trend for the built-up area within Cheshire East. The most prevalent crime category was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 52.2% of total reported incidents—2.4 per 1,000 residents, 16% below the UK average for this category. Criminal damage and arson followed at 11.9%, and public order offences at 7.5%, both significantly below national rates. The seasonal context of June—a time when longer daylight hours and the early onset of summer tourism—likely contributes to the prominence of violent crimes, though the area’s relatively low overall rate suggests strong community policing or socio-economic factors. Anti-social behaviour, at 7.5% of total crimes, remained below the UK average of 1.4 per 1,000, a pattern consistent with Alsager’s character as a mixed-use urban area with limited nightlife density. The absence of significant spikes in property-related crimes, such as burglary or vehicle crime, further reinforces the area’s comparative safety profile, though the small number of incidents (e.g. 2 burglaries) means statistical volatility remains a consideration.

June 2025 marked a 3.2% increase in Alsager’s crime rate compared to May, rising from 4.4 to 4.5 per 1,000 residents. This uptick was driven by sharp increases in drug-related offences (+150%), other theft (+100%), and bicycle theft (+100%), though these remain low in absolute terms (5, 2, and 1 incidents respectively). Conversely, public order offences fell by 37.5% (from 8 to 5), and possession of weapons dropped by 50% (from 2 to 1), indicating possible short-term fluctuations in local tensions or enforcement focus. Violent crimes—already the dominant category—remained 16% below the UK average, while anti-social behaviour was 79% below the national rate. The drug-related crime surge, though modest in scale, may reflect seasonal shifts in illicit activity or changes in local policing priorities. Meanwhile, the continued underperformance of burglary (3.0% of total crimes) compared to the UK average (0.3 per 1,000) underscores the area’s relative security, though the 64% gap suggests ongoing vigilance is required. For residents, the 1-in-221 monthly exposure figure provides context for the low probability of personal victimisation, even as specific categories like drug-related crimes show temporary spikes.

Alsager’s crime rate in June 2025 rose slightly from 4.4 to 4.5 per 1,000 residents compared to May, a 3.2% increase that remains well below the UK average. This translates to roughly 2 crimes per day in the built-up area, a figure that, while showing a marginal rise, is still markedly lower than the national average. Over the course of the month, 1 in every 221 residents experienced a reported crime—a monthly exposure rate that highlights the area’s comparative safety. When scaled to the population of 14,798, this equates to a low probability of personal involvement in criminal incidents, even as specific categories like drug-related crimes show temporary volatility. The UK-wide context is particularly relevant for categories such as drugs, which were 11% above the national average (0.3 per 1,000), suggesting localized challenges that may require targeted interventions. However, the broader trend of property crimes remaining significantly below UK levels (e.g. burglary at 64% below) reinforces the area’s overall safety profile. For residents, the daily crime count of 2 and the monthly exposure rate serve as tangible benchmarks for understanding risk, even as seasonal factors like the start of summer tourism may influence short-term fluctuations.
