Littleport Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Littleport's crime profile in November 2025 reveals a marked contrast between property and violent crime trends. With a total crime rate of 4.0 per 1,000 residents—45.2% below the UK average—the area's security appears stronger than national benchmarks. Property crimes, which accounted for 50% of all reported incidents (19 out of 38), dominated the landscape, while violent crimes (13 incidents) made up the remaining 34.2%. This imbalance suggests a local environment where retail and commercial spaces may exert a stronger influence on crime patterns than areas with higher population density or nightlife activity. The breakdown shows shoplifting as the second most common crime type (15.8% of total incidents), consistent with the area's character as a built-up town with high streets and local shops. Seasonal factors in November, including the darkening evenings and the proximity of Black Friday shopping, likely contribute to the prominence of property-related offences. While violent crime rates remain lower than the UK average, the 34.2% share of total crimes still reflects the presence of interpersonal disputes or incidents in public spaces, though at a scale significantly less than in larger urban centres. The relatively low overall crime rate may also reflect the town's compact size and the potential for community policing to have a more direct impact on crime prevention. However, the seasonal context of November—marked by Bonfire Night and the start of the holiday shopping season—may have temporarily heightened opportunities for theft and public disorder, even as the overall rate remains below national levels.

November 2025 saw significant fluctuations in specific crime categories, with public order offences surging by 200% compared to the previous month. This jump, from one to three incidents, may be linked to Bonfire Night celebrations or other November-specific events that draw larger crowds to public spaces. Concurrently, burglary and vehicle crime both doubled from zero to two incidents each, suggesting potential vulnerabilities in residential or commercial security during the month. These increases contrast with a 13.3% decrease in violence and sexual offences, which fell from 15 to 13 incidents. This decline, while modest, could reflect the impact of seasonal transitions on social interactions or the effectiveness of targeted policing efforts. Anti-social behaviour dropped by 77.8% (from nine to two incidents), indicating a reduction in incidents during the month or improved community reporting practices. The UK comparison for violence and sexual offences shows Littleport’s rate at 1.4 per 1,000—46% below the national average of 2.6 per 1,000. This gap underscores the town's relatively safer environment for residents concerned about interpersonal violence. However, theft from the person in Littleport (0.2 per 1,000) is 25% above the UK average (0.2 per 1,000), a nuance that may reflect local shopping patterns or the movement of transient populations during November. These variations highlight the need for targeted interventions in specific crime categories while maintaining the overall low crime rate that defines the area.

Littleport's crime rate in November 2025 rose by 15.2% from the previous month’s 3.5 per 1,000 to the current 4.0 per 1,000. While this increase is relatively modest, it reflects the dynamic nature of local crime patterns. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately one crime per day in November—a figure that, while low, may prompt residents to remain vigilant during the month’s darker evenings and busy shopping periods. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 249 residents, a ratio that places Littleport among the safer built-up areas in the UK. This monthly exposure rate, when compared to the UK average, highlights the town’s ability to maintain lower crime levels despite seasonal pressures. The population of 9,448 residents further contextualises these figures, as the absolute number of 38 crimes is proportionally small. However, the increase in public order offences and the doubling of burglary and vehicle crime suggest that specific vulnerabilities—such as unsecured properties or high-traffic areas—may require closer attention. The fact that Littleport’s overall crime rate remains 45.2% below the UK average reinforces the area’s relative safety, even as month-on-month changes indicate the need for ongoing monitoring of emerging trends.
