Groby Crime Rate August 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Groby's crime rate in August 2025 stood at 4.1 per 1,000 residents, a figure 49.4% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. This stark contrast highlights the area's generally low crime profile, though the month's data reveals a combination of trends. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 39.3% of all recorded crimes, a category where Groby's rate of 1.6 per 1,000 is 44% below the UK average. This suggests that while violent crime is a growing concern locally, it remains significantly lower than national benchmarks. Anti-social behaviour followed closely, contributing 25.0% of total crimes, with its rate of 1.0 per 1,000 also 32% below the UK average. The seasonal context of August—typically a peak holiday month—may have influenced patterns, though the sharp rise in anti-social behaviour and violence defies straightforward seasonal explanations. Property crimes, at 21.4% of the total, were lower than the UK average, with vehicle crime and burglary both underperforming by over 40% compared to national rates. This suggests that Groby's built-up character, possibly influenced by its location within Hinckley and Bosworth, may contribute to reduced property-related crime. However, the increase in violent and anti-social incidents raises questions about local factors, such as community dynamics or temporary disruptions, that could be explored further.

August 2025 saw a dramatic 600% increase in anti-social behaviour, rising from one incident to seven. This surge, coupled with a 120% rise in violence and sexual offences, signals a significant shift in the crime mix. While property crimes remained low—accounting for just 21.4% of total incidents—violent crimes now dominate, contributing 39.3% of all recorded offences. This shift contrasts with the UK average, where violence and sexual offences are 44% below national levels, suggesting Groby's unique local context. The 75% drop in burglary cases, from four to one, highlights a notable decrease in property-related crime, though seasonal factors like August's holiday period may have influenced this trend. Residents might find the 600% rise in anti-social behaviour particularly concerning, as it indicates a sharp increase in disruptive incidents.

Groby's crime rate in August 2025 rose 16.6% from the previous month, moving from 3.5 to 4.1 per 1,000 residents. This increase aligns with typical August patterns, where seasonal tourism and holiday activity may shift local dynamics. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately one crime per day over the 31-day period, a figure that reflects the low overall rate but remains a focal point for community awareness. When scaled to the population, the monthly exposure translates to one reported crime for every 246 residents, a statistic that contextualises the likelihood of encountering crime in daily life. This rate is lower than the UK average, which underscores the area's relative safety despite the month-on-month rise. The comparison highlights that while Groby's crime profile remains distinct from national trends, local fluctuations merit attention to understand their drivers.
