South Cave Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

South Cave's crime rate in November 2025 stood at 5.6 per 1,000 residents, a figure that is 23.3% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. This relatively low rate is consistent with the area’s status as a built-up area within East Riding of Yorkshire, where urban density and community policing efforts likely contribute to the suppression of crime. The breakdown of crimes reveals a stark contrast in the types of offences: violence and sexual offences accounted for 65.7% of all reported crimes, significantly higher than the UK average for this category (2.6 per 1,000). Public order offences, which rose sharply in November, now make up 14.3% of the total, a rate 70% above the UK average for this category. This imbalance suggests that local factors — such as the proximity of high-traffic areas during events like Bonfire Night — may play a role in the elevated rates of disorder-related crimes. Meanwhile, property crimes such as burglary and vehicle crime, while not reaching the UK average, show a marked increase month-on-month, with both categories doubling in number. This uptick may be linked to seasonal factors, including the darker evenings of November and the timing of Black Friday shopping, which could have drawn more foot traffic and increased opportunities for theft. The overall crime picture for South Cave in November highlights the need for targeted interventions in public spaces and the importance of maintaining community engagement to address the rising rates of violent and disorderly offences. While the area remains safer than the UK average overall, the specific trends in violent and public order crimes warrant closer attention from local authorities and residents alike.

November saw a 100% increase in burglary and vehicle crime, with two incidents each — the first recorded in either category since at least October. Public order offences rose by 66.7%, driven by a surge from 3 to 5 incidents, consistent with the timing of Bonfire Night and Black Friday shopping. Violent crimes, which accounted for 65.7% of all reported crimes, remained 44% above the UK average for violence and sexual offences, a disparity that may partly explain the heightened focus on community safety initiatives. Other theft and criminal damage both decreased significantly — other theft fell by two-thirds, while criminal damage dropped by 60%, a shift that contrasts with the rising trends in property-related crimes. Residents are advised to remain vigilant in public spaces, particularly during evenings when visibility is reduced and local events draw larger crowds.

South Cave's crime rate in November 2025 rose by 6.0% compared to October, moving from 5.3 to 5.6 per 1,000 residents. This increase, though modest, reflects a shift in crime patterns during a month marked by seasonal transitions and local events. Locally, the average daily crime count was 1.2 crimes per day, a figure that underscores the persistent presence of criminal activity even in a relatively low-crime area. Over the course of November, one reported crime occurred for every 178 residents, a monthly exposure rate that places South Cave within the lower quartile of UK built-up areas. When scaled to the population of 6,238, this statistic highlights the importance of community vigilance and local policing efforts. The population context further reveals that South Cave’s crime rates are influenced not just by absolute numbers but by how densely populated its built-up areas are compared to surrounding rural regions.
