Groby Crime Rate October 2025 | Monthly Statistics

October 2025 saw Groby, a built-up area within Hinckley and Bosworth, report 25 crimes at a rate of 3.6 per 1,000 residents—53.2% below the UK average. The area’s crime profile remains dominated by violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 60% of all incidents, followed by anti-social behaviour and criminal damage. This pattern contrasts with the UK average, where property crimes typically hold a larger share. The surge in violent crime, though still well below national levels, raises questions about local factors such as Halloween-related activity or the impact of darker evenings on visibility. The seasonal context of October—clocks going back and the approach of Halloween—may have contributed to the rise in anti-social behaviour and violence, as increased darkness and social gatherings could create conditions conducive to such incidents. However, property crime remains relatively low, with burglary and vehicle crime both matching or falling below UK averages. This suggests that while Groby is not immune to crime spikes, its overall safety remains a key characteristic. The area’s low crime rate, combined with the specific increases in violent and anti-social offences, highlights the need for targeted community awareness and policing strategies. As a small urban area with a mix of residential and commercial spaces, Groby’s crime trends reflect a combination of local dynamics and broader seasonal influences.

Violence and sexual offences rose sharply by 114.3% in October, with 15 reported incidents—accounting for 60% of all crimes. This increase, though still 17% below the UK average, suggests a worrying shift in local crime patterns. Anti-social behaviour also spiked by 200%, jumping from one to three incidents, a figure that may partly explain the rise in violent crime. Burglary doubled from one to two incidents, though it remained at the UK average rate. These increases contrast with a 50% drop in criminal damage and arson, which fell from six to three. Residents should be particularly vigilant in areas where anti-social behaviour has surged, as this may indicate heightened tensions or disruptions. The property crime share (8%) is significantly lower than the UK average, reinforcing Groby’s overall safety profile despite these spikes.

Groby's crime rate in October 2025 remained stable compared to September, with a 4.0% decrease to 3.6 per 1,000 residents. This small built-up area continues to report significantly lower crime levels than the UK average, with monthly exposure translating to one reported crime for every 275 residents over the course of the month. Daily crime counts show a localised figure of roughly one crime per day, a statistic that highlights the relatively low frequency of incidents in this area. While the overall rate is down slightly from the previous month, the mix of crime types has shifted with violent offences increasing sharply. This contrast between the area’s overall safety and specific spikes in certain categories underscores the need for targeted awareness. The population context further illustrates that, despite the 6878 residents, the scale of incidents remains minimal, reinforcing Groby’s position as a generally low-crime locality.
