Long Eaton Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Violence and sexual offences dominated Long Eaton's crime profile in June 2025, accounting for 35.3% of all reported crimes. This category, at 2.6 per 1,000 residents, was 9% below the UK average, a trend consistent with the area's lower-than-average violent crime rates in previous months. The second most prevalent category, shoplifting, stood at 1.2 per 1,000—nearly double the UK average of 0.6 per 1,000. This discrepancy may be attributed to Long Eaton's retail infrastructure, particularly its high street and shopping centres, which attract both residents and visitors. Anti-social behaviour followed closely, contributing 15.6% of total crimes.2 per 1,000 was 15% below the UK average. The seasonal context of June—marking the start of summer—introduces complexity, as warmer weather and longer evenings typically correlate with increased public activity. However, the absence of a significant rise in violent crime during this period may reflect the town's community policing efforts and the presence of local initiatives aimed at de-escalating conflicts. The relatively low burglary rate (0.2 per 1,000) compared to the UK average (0.3) suggests that residential areas remain relatively secure, though the 60% month-on-month increase in burglaries warrants closer monitoring. These patterns illustrate a nuanced picture where retail-related crimes outpace other categories, but overall safety metrics remain aligned with national benchmarks.

June 2025 marked a sharp 125% increase in vehicle crime, rising from 4 to 9 incidents—a jump that may reflect seasonal changes in parking patterns or increased travel. Concurrently, shoplifting incidents surged by 46.7%, reaching 44 cases, a figure 90% above the UK average. This stark contrast to the UK's 0.6 per 1,000 rate underscores a localised issue, likely tied to the town's retail presence. Meanwhile, drug-related crimes fell by 54.5%, from 11 to 5, suggesting a possible shift in local enforcement or community initiatives. The 60% rise in burglary, though still below the UK average, indicates a need for vigilance in residential areas. These fluctuations highlight the dynamic nature of crime in Long Eaton, where retail and residential sectors experience opposing trends simultaneously.

Long Eaton's crime rate in June 2025 stood at 7.4 per 1,000 residents, a 6.0% decrease from the previous month's 7.9 per 1,000. This decline aligns with the start of summer, a period when outdoor activity typically shifts but local patterns remain distinct. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately 9 crimes per day over the 30-day period, reflecting a steady but manageable level of activity. When scaled to the population of 38,186, the monthly exposure translates to one reported crime for every 135 residents—a figure that, while notable, remains below the UK average. The most significant shift from May to June was the 125% rise in vehicle crime, which may partly reflect increased seasonal travel or changes in local parking habits. These figures provide residents with a concrete benchmark for understanding their monthly risk profile, particularly as the area prepares for the peak of summer activities.
