Lutterworth Crime Rate August 2025 | Monthly Statistics

The most striking anomaly in Lutterworth's August 2025 crime profile was the 300% surge in public order offences, a sharp departure from previous trends. This spike, which saw incidents rise from 2 to 8, contrasts with the overall 4.9 per 1,000 resident rate—39.5% below the UK average of 8.1. Violence and sexual offences dominated the crime mix, accounting for 36.1% of total incidents, yet this rate was 37% below the UK average. The area's crime picture in August reflected a broader pattern of low-level property crime, with other theft and burglary rates both significantly below national averages. Seasonal factors may have played a role, as August is a peak holiday month when tourism increases and local demographics shift, potentially contributing to the rise in public order issues. The town's overall safety profile, however, remained strong, with anti-social behaviour and shoplifting both showing marked declines. This suggests that while certain crime types are influenced by seasonal rhythms, Lutterworth's general crime environment continues to benefit from effective policing or community engagement strategies. The low rate of vehicle crime, down 83.3% from July, may also indicate reduced traffic congestion during the summer holidays. The data highlights a combination of local conditions and national trends, with Lutterworth's crime picture illustrating both the challenges and successes of maintaining safety in a small built-up area.

August saw a dramatic 300% increase in public order offences, rising from 2 to 8 incidents. This spike, combined with a 55.6% rise in anti-social behaviour, highlights a notable shift in the crime mix towards public disorder. Conversely, vehicle crime plummeted by 83.3% as incidents dropped from 6 to 1, likely reflecting reduced traffic during the summer holidays. Shoplifting also fell sharply by 66.7%, from 3 to 1 incident, suggesting fewer retail opportunities or heightened security measures. Violence and sexual offences remained the most common crime type, accounting for 36.1% of total incidents, but this rate was 37% below the UK average. These patterns indicate a combination of seasonal factors and local policing priorities, with public order issues emerging as an unexpected focal point for August.

Lutterworth's crime rate in August 2025 remained stable at 4.9 per 1,000 residents, matching the same figure recorded in July. This consistency suggests no significant short-term fluctuations in criminal activity. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately two reported crimes per day, a figure that, while low, reflects the town's overall safety profile. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 204 residents, placing Lutterworth well below the UK average in terms of monthly exposure. With a population of 12,459, the local context shows that crime remains a rare occurrence for most residents. This low frequency contrasts with larger urban areas, where higher population density typically correlates with increased crime rates. The stability in the crime rate also indicates that local policing efforts or community initiatives may be maintaining current levels of safety, though no specific programmes are referenced in the data.
