Coningsby and Tattershall Crime Rate October 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Coningsby and Tattershall’s crime rate in October 2025 stood at 5.5 per 1,000 residents, a figure 28.6% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. This lower-than-national rate is consistent with the area’s character as a relatively rural built-up zone within East Lindsey, where crime patterns often reflect a mix of low-density residential areas and limited commercial activity. The most prevalent category of crime was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 45.2% of all reported incidents (19 cases), followed by anti-social behaviour (26.2%, 11 cases) and criminal damage and arson (11.9%, 5 cases). These figures suggest that interpersonal conflicts and property-related issues remain central to the local crime profile. Seasonal factors may have influenced the data, as October’s shorter days and the approach of Halloween could contribute to increased anti-social behaviour, which saw a marked rise compared to previous months. Meanwhile, the area’s performance in certain categories—such as shoplifting (0.1 per 1,000, 84% below the UK average) and vehicle crime (0.3 per 1,000, 29% below the UK average)—highlights the effectiveness of local policing or community initiatives in reducing specific types of crime. However, the relatively high rate of criminal damage and arson compared to the UK average (25% above) may indicate vulnerabilities in public infrastructure or a lack of targeted prevention efforts. The overall crime rate, while low, underscores the need for continued vigilance, particularly as the area’s limited commercial and social hubs may concentrate incidents in specific locations.

October 2025 saw a stark increase in anti-social behaviour, rising from six to 11 incidents—a jump of 83.3%—which may be linked to the darker evenings and Halloween festivities. Violence and sexual offences also rose slightly, increasing by 11.8% to 19 cases, though this remains 6% below the UK average of 2.7 per 1,000. Conversely, vehicle crime plummeted by 77.8%, dropping from nine to two incidents, potentially reflecting reduced road traffic during the month. Other theft also declined by 40%, from five to three cases, a trend consistent with seasonal patterns. The area’s rate of criminal damage and arson (0.7 per 1,000) is 25% above the UK average, suggesting a need for localised monitoring. Residents should be particularly vigilant around anti-social behaviour, which now constitutes 26.2% of all reported crimes, the second-highest category after violence and sexual offences. The sharp rise in anti-social incidents could indicate heightened tensions in public spaces during the transition to darker evenings.

Coningsby and Tattershall’s crime rate in October 2025 (5.5 per 1,000) represents a 27.6% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 7.6 per 1,000. This decline aligns with broader seasonal trends, as October typically sees reduced outdoor activity and shorter evenings compared to summer months. On a daily basis, the area recorded one crime for every 31 days, translating to approximately one crime per day. Over the course of the month, this equates to one reported crime for every 181 residents, a figure that contextualises the low frequency of incidents relative to the population of 7,608. While the overall rate remains well below the UK average, the monthly exposure metric highlights that residents are less likely to experience crime than the national average, though localised spikes in specific categories—such as anti-social behaviour—warrant attention. The population-scaled perspective underscores that the area’s crime profile is significantly more subdued than the UK’s, with 28.6% fewer crimes per 1,000 residents. This contrast is particularly evident in categories like vehicle crime and shoplifting, where local rates are 29% and 84% below UK averages, respectively. However, the persistent presence of violence and sexual offences—despite a 6% deficit compared to the UK average—suggests that targeted interventions may still be needed in high-risk scenarios.
