Groby Crime Rate September 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Groby's overall crime rate in September 2025 remained significantly below the UK average, recording 3.8 crimes per 1,000 residents — a 48.6% reduction compared to the national figure of 7.4 per 1,000. This sustained underperformance relative to the UK average suggests the area's built-up character, likely shaped by its location within Hinckley and Bosworth, may contribute to lower crime exposure. The most common crime category was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 26.9% of all reported incidents, followed by criminal damage and arson (23.1%) and public order offences (15.4%). These patterns align with seasonal transitions in September, as back-to-school activities and the start of the academic year may influence social dynamics. The rate of violence and sexual offences in Groby (1.0 per 1,000) was 61% below the UK average, while public order offences were 11% above the national rate. This contrast highlights the area's unique balance between community cohesion and occasional tensions in public spaces. The low property crime rate (13 total incidents) compared to violent crime may reflect the area's compact nature, where surveillance and familiarity among residents could deter theft. However, the slight increase in criminal damage and arson (70% above UK average) could indicate challenges in addressing anti-social behaviour or property-related disputes. As nights draw in and school terms begin, local authorities may need to monitor how seasonal changes influence both community engagement and crime prevention efforts.

September 2025 saw notable decreases in anti-social behaviour (85.7% drop from 7 to 1 incidents) and violence and sexual offences (36.4% decline from 11 to 7). These reductions, particularly in anti-social behaviour, may reflect the start of the academic year, with structured routines potentially curbing disruptive activities. Conversely, vehicle crime increased by 100% (from 1 to 2 incidents), linked to heightened traffic during school term transitions. Shoplifting also rose sharply (100% increase from 0 to 3), which could be attributed to the return of students and increased footfall in local retail areas. Other theft saw a similar jump (100% from 0 to 1). The rate of violence and sexual offences in Groby (1.0 per 1,000) was 61% below the UK average, a stark contrast to the 70% increase in criminal damage and arson (0.9 per 1,000) compared to the national rate of 0.5 per 1,000. This divergence underscores the area's specific challenges in managing property-related crimes. For residents, the 85.7% drop in anti-social behaviour offers a tangible reassurance that local interventions — such as community policing or school collaboration — may be yielding positive outcomes.

Groby's crime rate in September 2025 (3.8 per 1,000) marked a 7.1% decrease from the previous month's rate of 4.1 per 1,000, reflecting a continued downward trend. On a daily basis, the area experienced roughly one reported crime per day over the month — a figure that, while low, remains a local benchmark for residents. Over the course of September, one crime occurred for every 265 residents, a monthly exposure rate that places Groby among the safer built-up areas in the UK. This statistic, when contextualised against the national average, illustrates the area's relative success in maintaining low crime levels despite its proximity to larger urban centres. The population of 6,878 residents means that the 26 total crimes reported in September equate to a small fraction of the community being directly affected. However, the comparison to the UK average reveals that Groby's safety is not solely a result of demographic factors but also reflects effective local crime prevention strategies. The 7.1% monthly reduction, combined with the 48.6% gap below the UK average, suggests that Groby's built-up area may benefit from a unique combination of community engagement, infrastructure, and policing efforts that mitigate crime risks more effectively than many other regions.
