Mablethorpe Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For every 1,000 residents in Mablethorpe, 8.4 crimes were reported in November 2025—a rate 15.1% higher than the UK average. This figure, while seemingly modest, translates to a 1-in-119 chance of being directly affected by crime over the course of the month, a statistic that underscores the tangible risks faced by local residents. The breakdown of crimes reveals a stark focus on violence and anti-social behaviour, which together accounted for 60.8% of all reported incidents. Violence and sexual offences, at 3.4 per 1,000 residents, were 32% above the UK average, a disparity that may be linked to the area’s proximity to major roads and its seasonal influx of visitors during events like Bonfire Night. Anti-social behaviour, at 2.0 per 1,000, was even more pronounced, 89% above the UK average, likely exacerbated by the combination of short winter days and the town’s coastal location, which can create environments conducive to disorder. The month’s crime profile also showed a notable contrast in property crime: while shoplifting fell sharply by 66.7% compared to October, anti-social behaviour remained stubbornly high, suggesting that localised factors—such as the presence of transient populations or the lack of targeted community policing—may be contributing to this imbalance. These patterns are consistent with other coastal towns in the East Lindsey region, where seasonal fluctuations and the interplay between tourism and resident demographics often shape crime trends. The decline in burglary, which fell from 3 to 1 incident, could be attributed to the colder weather and reduced foot traffic, though the rate remains 33% below the UK average. This divergence highlights the need for tailored approaches to crime prevention that consider the unique characteristics of Mablethorpe’s built-up area, where the density of housing and the presence of local amenities may influence both opportunities for crime and the effectiveness of policing strategies.

November 2025 marked a sharp increase in robbery and drug-related crimes, both rising by 100% from the previous month. This surge, though small in absolute terms (one incident each), contrasts with declines in burglary (-66.7%) and shoplifting (-66.7%), which may reflect seasonal shifts in criminal activity. The crime mix also revealed stark regional disparities: violence and sexual offences in Mablethorpe were 32% above the UK average, while shoplifting was 52% below. These discrepancies suggest that local factors, such as the town’s proximity to major transport routes and its seasonal tourism patterns, may play a role. For residents, the most immediate concern remains anti-social behaviour, which accounted for 24.1% of all crimes and was 89% above the UK average. This statistic offers a concrete insight into the types of incidents most likely to affect local communities.

November 2025 saw Mablethorpe’s crime rate fall to 8.4 per 1,000 residents, a 20.6% drop from the previous month’s 10.6 per 1,000. This decline aligns with seasonal patterns typical of coastal towns, where reduced tourist activity and shorter daylight hours may curb certain types of crime. Locally, the average resident faced a 1-in-119 chance of being a victim of crime over the month, a figure that contextualises risk in everyday terms. On a daily basis, the area recorded roughly two crimes per day, a rate that, while lower than the previous month, remains higher than the UK average when scaled to Mablethorpe’s population. This daily figure does not account for the area’s specific demographics, such as its proximity to nature reserves and coastal attractions, which may influence both crime types and reporting patterns. The population context further highlights that, despite the overall decrease, the rate remains 15.1% above the UK average, suggesting persistent local factors that may not be fully captured by national statistics.
