Bradwell (Great Yarmouth) Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Bradwell’s November 2025 crime rate of 2.7 per 1,000 residents places it 63% below the UK average, highlighting the area’s consistently low crime profile. The most prevalent category was violence and sexual offences (18 incidents, 41.9% of total crimes), followed by criminal damage and arson (5 incidents) and public order offences (3 incidents). These figures align with seasonal dynamics: the month coincided with Bonfire Night and Black Friday, periods historically associated with spikes in retail crime and public disorder. However, despite these events, the area’s overall rate remained exceptionally low, likely reflecting the built-up nature of Bradwell within Great Yarmouth—a coastal town with a mix of residential and commercial zones. The relatively low rate of property crime (16 incidents, 37.2% of total) compared to the UK average may be partly explained by the area’s compact layout, which facilitates quicker police response times and community oversight. Meanwhile, the sharp rise in burglary and bicycle theft, though modest in absolute terms, signals a potential shift in criminal focus, possibly influenced by increased retail activity during the month. Such trends underscore the need for targeted awareness, particularly as the season transitions into the festive period, when similar patterns may resurface.

November 2025 saw sharp increases in burglary, bicycle theft, and robbery, with each category doubling from previous month totals. This contrasts with significant declines in shoplifting (down 80%) and anti-social behaviour (down 72.7%), suggesting shifting patterns in criminal activity. Violence and sexual offences, though remaining the most common category (accounting for 41.9% of total crimes), fell by 47.1% compared to October, a drop that may reflect seasonal factors such as reduced nightlife activity during darker evenings. Bicycle theft rose to 2 incidents—matching the UK average for the first time this year—potentially linked to increased Black Friday shopping traffic. Residents should remain vigilant, particularly around areas with high footfall, as the rise in property-related crimes indicates a need for heightened awareness.

Bradwell’s November 2025 crime rate of 2.7 per 1,000 residents represents a 37.6% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 4.3 per 1,000. This decline aligns with a broader trend observed in the area over the past year, though November’s figures remain significantly lower than the UK average. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately one reported crime per day in November, reflecting a low-frequency pattern consistent with its built-up status within Great Yarmouth. Over the course of the month, one crime was reported for every 375 residents, a figure that contextualises the scale of incidents relative to the population. This monthly exposure rate is particularly low compared to other urban centres, suggesting that local factors—such as community engagement or policing strategies—may contribute to sustained low crime levels despite seasonal fluctuations. The population-scaled perspective further highlights that residents face a relatively low risk of encountering crime, though specific increases in certain categories warrant closer attention.
