New Ollerton and Ollerton Crime Rate September 2025 | Monthly Statistics

In September 2025, New Ollerton and Ollerton recorded a crime rate of 6.3 per 1,000 residents, placing the area 14.9% below the UK average of 7.4. This figure reflects a consistent trend of lower-than-average crime levels in the built-up area, which is likely influenced by its relatively small population and the absence of major urban infrastructure. The most common crimes were violence and sexual offences (35.4% of total incidents), followed by criminal damage and arson (19.0%) and anti-social behaviour (12.7%). These patterns may be partly explained by the area’s seasonal context, with the return of students and the onset of shorter evenings potentially contributing to increased incidents of violence and property damage. However, the overall rate remains stable, suggesting that local policing efforts and community structures are effective in managing crime. The relatively low level of violent crime compared to the UK average is notable, though the high rate of criminal damage and arson—126% above the national average—highlights specific vulnerabilities. These could include the presence of derelict properties or the impact of seasonal weather on maintenance and repair activities. The data also indicates that anti-social behaviour remains a persistent issue, though its rate is 32% below the UK average, suggesting that local interventions may be having a positive effect.

The most striking change in September 2025 was a 100% increase in drug-related crimes, rising from one to two incidents. This surge, though small in absolute terms, may reflect heightened activity during the back-to-school period and the start of university freshers’ week. Conversely, vehicle crime fell by 80%, dropping from five to one incident—a shift that could be linked to reduced daylight hours and fewer commuters in the area. Other notable changes included a 60% rise in 'other crime' and a 50% decrease in 'other theft,' suggesting fluctuations in unclassified or context-specific offences. Violent crimes, which accounted for 35.4% of total incidents, remained 15% below the UK average, consistent with the area’s generally lower levels of violent crime. Meanwhile, criminal damage and arson were 126% above the UK average, a stark contrast that may be influenced by local factors such as the presence of vacant properties or seasonal maintenance activities.

New Ollerton and Ollerton’s crime rate in September 2025 fell by 9.2% compared to the previous month, dropping from 6.9 to 6.3 per 1,000 residents. This decline aligns with a broader trend observed in the area over recent months, though seasonal factors may influence this shift. Locally, the average daily crime count stood at approximately three incidents per day, reflecting a relatively low frequency of reported crimes. Over the course of the month, one crime occurred for every 159 residents, a figure that contextualises the risk on a population scale. This monthly exposure rate is consistent with the area’s historical profile, where crime remains below the UK average. While the overall rate has decreased, the variation in specific crime types—such as the sharp rise in drug-related incidents—highlights the need for continued monitoring. The population-scaled perspective suggests that most residents are not directly affected by crime, but targeted categories like criminal damage and arson remain areas of concern.
