Coningsby and Tattershall Crime Rate February 2025 | Monthly Statistics

February 2025 presented a mixed picture for Coningsby and Tattershall’s crime profile, with the area’s overall crime rate at 3.4 per 1,000 residents — 49.3% below the UK average of 6.7. This stark contrast to the national figure underscores the area’s relatively low crime profile, a pattern consistent with its status as a built-up area within East Lindsey, where community-focused policing and limited urban density may contribute to reduced incidents. The top crime categories were violence and sexual offences (11 incidents, 42.3% of total), anti-social behaviour (7 incidents, 26.9%), and criminal damage and arson (3 incidents, 11.5%). Violence and sexual offences, though down 56% from January, remain 36% below the UK average for the category, suggesting local factors such as community cohesion or effective policing strategies may be at play. Anti-social behaviour, despite a 133.3% monthly increase, still lags 7% behind the UK average, reflecting seasonal influences like colder weather driving indoor conflicts. The area’s seasonal context — a winter month with low outdoor activity and a pre-spring lull — likely explains the subdued rates for crimes like shoplifting and vehicle theft, which fell sharply and remained well below UK averages. These trends illustrate how geographic and temporal factors shape crime patterns, with the area’s small, close-knit nature fostering a lower incidence of violent crime compared to larger urban centres.

February 2025 marked a significant shift in crime patterns, with anti-social behaviour surging by 133.3% as incidents rose from three to seven. This increase, though notable, remains 7% below the UK average for the category. Meanwhile, shoplifting plummeted by 85.7%, dropping from seven to one incident — a stark contrast to January’s figures and 84% below the UK rate. The decline in shoplifting may reflect reduced foot traffic during winter or heightened retail security measures. Violence and sexual offences also fell by 56%, from 25 to 11, despite remaining 36% below the UK average. This drop aligns with the seasonal context of February, a month typically marked by lower outdoor activity. Vehicle crime, the only category above the UK average (8% higher), remained stable at three incidents, suggesting no significant seasonal influence on this type of crime. These shifts highlight a combination of local dynamics and broader seasonal trends.

February 2025 saw a 43.5% drop in the area’s crime rate compared to January, falling from 6.1 to 3.4 per 1,000 residents. This decline aligns with typical seasonal patterns, as February’s low outdoor activity and pre-spring lull may reduce opportunities for crimes like vehicle theft or shoplifting. Daily crime counts averaged one per day, a figure that, while modest, reflects the area’s relatively low overall crime profile. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 293 residents — a statistic that contextualises the scale of incidents in a community of 7,608 people. This monthly exposure rate is lower than many UK areas, particularly given the area’s built-up nature within East Lindsey. The population-scaled perspective underscores that while crime remains a concern, its frequency is proportionally minimal, suggesting a combination of local factors such as community cohesion, policing strategies, and the area’s seasonal rhythm likely contributes to this trend.
