Lutterworth Crime Rate February 2025 | Monthly Statistics

In February 2025, Lutterworth’s crime rate of 4.6 per 1,000 residents placed it 31.3% below the UK average of 6.7 per 1,000, a figure that highlights the area’s relative safety. The crime profile was dominated by property-related incidents, with 30 reported cases compared to 19 violent crimes. This imbalance between property and violent crime suggests a landscape where theft and vehicle-related offences are more prevalent than personal violence, a pattern consistent with the area’s likely characteristics as a built-up town with a mix of residential and commercial zones. The most common crime type was violence and sexual offences (33.3% of total incidents), followed by vehicle crime (22.8%) and anti-social behaviour (8.8%). This distribution aligns with seasonal patterns typical of February—a winter month with low outdoor activity and a pre-spring lull that may reduce opportunities for certain crimes while increasing vulnerability in others. The UK average for violence and sexual offences (2.4 per 1,000) was 36% below Lutterworth’s rate, indicating a higher-than-average incidence of personal violence despite the overall low crime rate. Vehicle crime, however, stood out as a significant outlier, with 1.0 per 1,000 incidents—170% above the UK average—suggesting potential gaps in local vehicle security measures or increased targeting of parked vehicles in residential areas. The combination of these factors illustrates an area where property crime, particularly vehicle theft, remains a focal point for local authorities, even as overall crime levels remain well below national benchmarks.

February 2025 saw a dramatic 550% increase in vehicle crime, rising from 2 to 13 incidents. This spike, while statistically significant, remains an outlier against the broader trend of declining violent crime, which fell by 29.6% to 19 reported cases. The balance between property and violent crime shifted sharply, with property crimes (30) outnumbering violent crimes (19) by a margin not seen in recent months. This divergence may partly explain the area’s lower-than-average crime rate, as property-related incidents tend to be more easily mitigated through targeted policing or community measures. Vehicle crime in Lutterworth is 170% above the UK average (0.4 per 1,000), a stark contrast to the 36% below UK average for violence and sexual offences. Residents might find the 550% surge in vehicle crime particularly concerning, as it suggests a potential vulnerability in local infrastructure or enforcement related to vehicle storage and theft prevention.

Lutterworth’s February 2025 crime rate of 4.6 per 1,000 residents marks a 3.4% decline from the previous month’s 4.7 per 1,000, reflecting a slight but consistent trend in crime reduction. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 219 residents, a figure that contextualises the monthly exposure in terms of population density. On a daily basis, the area saw approximately two crimes reported each day, a rate that, while low, highlights the persistent nature of localised incidents. This daily figure is particularly relevant for residents, as it provides a tangible sense of the frequency of crime in their immediate environment. The population-scaled perspective further underscores that Lutterworth’s crime levels remain significantly below the UK average, with the 31.3% gap reinforcing the area’s relative safety compared to national trends. However, the disparity in specific crime types—such as vehicle crime being 170% above the UK average—suggests that certain vulnerabilities persist despite the overall low rate.
