Fylde Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Fylde's overall crime rate in June 2025 stood at 6.7 per 1,000 residents, marking a 17.3% deficit compared to the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. This places the district among the safer areas nationally, though local patterns reveal a combination of crime types. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 34.2% of all reported crimes, followed by anti-social behaviour (29.8%) and criminal damage and arson (8.3%). The seasonal context of June—marking the beginning of summer—may influence these figures, with increased tourism in coastal areas potentially contributing to certain crime dynamics. Fylde's rate of violent crime (2.3 per 1,000) is 20% below the UK average, consistent with the district's relatively low levels of serious violence. However, anti-social behaviour remains a significant concern, with rates 41% above the national average. This discrepancy may reflect local factors such as the density of residential areas or the timing of seasonal events that draw larger crowds to public spaces. The lower incidence of property crimes, including shoplifting (37% below UK average) and vehicle crime (46% below UK average), could indicate effective local policing strategies or a lower concentration of retail and transport hubs compared to larger urban centres. As the summer season progresses, these trends may shift further, warranting continued monitoring of both violent and anti-social crime patterns.

June 2025 saw notable fluctuations in specific crime categories, with 'other crime' rising by 110% to 21 incidents—marking the largest month-on-month increase in the dataset. This category, which includes offences not otherwise classified, may reflect emerging challenges or shifts in reporting practices. Conversely, theft from the person fell by 33.3% to two incidents, a decline likely linked to seasonal factors such as increased daylight hours and tourist activity in coastal areas. Anti-social behaviour, while still 41% above the UK average, showed no month-on-month change, suggesting persistent local pressures in this category. The 50% increase in public order offences to 27 incidents could indicate heightened activity in public spaces during the summer months. Fylde's shoplifting rate (0.4 per 1,000) remained 37% below the UK average, a trend that may be attributed to the area's lower density of retail outlets compared to major urban centres. Meanwhile, the 100% rise in bicycle theft to one incident—though still below the UK average—raises questions about whether this reflects a genuine increase or a data anomaly given the small number. These shifts underscore the importance of contextual analysis, as month-on-month changes must be viewed alongside broader patterns rather than in isolation.

Fylde's crime rate in June 2025 remained stable compared to May, with the monthly rate unchanged at 6.7 per 1,000 residents. This consistency suggests that local crime prevention measures have maintained their effectiveness despite seasonal variations. On a daily basis, the district recorded approximately 19 crimes per day in June—a figure that, while providing a snapshot of local activity, must be contextualised within Fylde's population of 85,447 residents. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 150 residents, a monthly exposure rate that places Fylde among the safer areas in the UK. This figure is particularly meaningful for residents, as it illustrates the relative infrequency of crime in their daily lives. When compared to the UK average, Fylde's lower overall rate is reinforced by its performance in key categories: violent crime, shoplifting, and vehicle crime all sit below the national average. However, the district's elevated anti-social behaviour rates—41% above UK levels—highlight areas for targeted intervention. These comparative figures, when viewed alongside Fylde's population size and geographic characteristics, suggest that local crime patterns are shaped by a combination of effective policing, community engagement, and the area's inherent demographic traits.
