Cleethorpes Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Cleethorpes' crime rate in June 2025 stood at 14.2 per 1,000 residents, placing the area 75.3% above the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. This stark divergence highlights the unique challenges faced by the built-up area within North East Lincolnshire. The most prevalent crime type was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 40.1% of all reported incidents, followed by shoplifting (15.6%) and public order offences (9.5%). These figures align with Cleethorpes' character as a coastal town with a mix of residential and commercial zones, where summer tourism and extended daylight hours may contribute to increased social interactions and associated risks. The seasonal context of June, marked by the start of the summer season, likely amplifies activity in public spaces, potentially exacerbating issues such as anti-social behaviour and public order incidents. While shoplifting and public order offences are significantly above UK averages, anti-social behaviour is 30% below the national level, suggesting that local initiatives or community dynamics may be mitigating some aspects of disorder. The overall crime rate, however, remains a cause for concern, particularly given the high proportion of violent crimes and the sharp rise in shoplifting. These trends may be influenced by a combination of factors, including the influx of visitors, changes in policing strategies, or shifts in local demographics. As the area transitions into the peak of summer, continued monitoring and targeted interventions will be critical to addressing these challenges and ensuring public safety.

June 2025 saw a dramatic 200% increase in shoplifting, with reported cases rising from 22 to 66. This sharp rise may be linked to the start of the summer tourist season, as retail areas experience higher foot traffic and potential vulnerabilities. Bicycle theft also spiked by 233.3%, jumping from 3 to 10 incidents, possibly reflecting increased cycling during warmer weather and the presence of tourists. Conversely, theft from the person dropped by 50%, from 2 to 1, which could indicate improved security measures or reduced opportunities in high-traffic zones. Violence and sexual offences remained high, at 99% above the UK average, with 169 incidents reported. This category, which accounts for 40.1% of all crimes, underscores ongoing challenges in maintaining public safety. Meanwhile, burglary fell by 30.8%, from 13 to 9, suggesting a temporary reduction in residential property crimes, though this remains slightly above the UK average.

Cleethorpes' crime rate in June 2025 rose to 14.2 per 1,000 residents, marking a 28.6% increase from May's 11.0 per 1,000. This surge translates to approximately 14 crimes reported daily, a figure that underscores the heightened activity during the summer months. Over the course of June, one crime was reported for every 70 residents, a monthly aggregate that highlights the persistent presence of crime in the area. When contextualised against the population of 29,734, this rate suggests that residents face a higher exposure to crime compared to the UK average. While the daily crime count provides a snapshot of ongoing challenges, the monthly exposure figure illustrates the cumulative impact on the community, particularly as tourism and summer activities intensify. This upward trend may reflect seasonal patterns, with increased foot traffic and social interactions in public spaces contributing to the rise in reported incidents.
