Cleethorpes Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Cleethorpes’ crime rate in November 2025 reached 11.5 per 1,000 residents, placing the area 57.5% above the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. This figure reflects a combination of local and seasonal factors, with the month’s darker evenings and high-traffic periods—such as Black Friday shopping and Bonfire Night—likely contributing to the elevated numbers. The most significant portion of crimes involved violence and sexual offences (37.7% of total), followed by shoplifting (19.6%) and criminal damage and arson (8.8%). These patterns align with Cleethorpes’ character as a coastal town with a mix of urban and semi-rural areas, where commercial districts and community events may drive certain types of crime. The high rate of violence and sexual offences, 67% above the UK average, could be influenced by the area’s proximity to major transport routes and the transient nature of its population. Similarly, shoplifting’s disproportionate prevalence (265% above the UK average) may be linked to Cleethorpes’ retail presence, particularly in its town centre, which attracts both local and visiting shoppers. Meanwhile, the sharp rise in drug-related offences—up 125% compared to October—suggests a possible correlation with the post-Black Friday period, when increased retail foot traffic and late-night activity may create opportunities for illicit trade. Residents are advised to exercise caution in public spaces, particularly during evenings and weekends, and to report suspicious activity promptly.

November 2025 saw alarming increases in specific crime categories, with drug-related offenses surging by 125% (4 to 9 cases). This rise coincides with the post-Black Friday period, when increased retail activity may have created opportunities for illicit activity. Theft from the person also doubled, from 1 to 2 incidents, while other theft cases rose by 100% (10 to 20), suggesting heightened vulnerability in public spaces. Conversely, bicycle theft plummeted by 85.7% (7 to 1), possibly due to seasonal factors such as reduced outdoor activity or increased vehicle storage. Violence and sexual offences remained the most prevalent category, at 37.7% of total crimes, 67% above the UK average. This stark disparity may be linked to Cleethorpes’ status as a coastal town with a mix of residential and commercial areas, where late-night activity and transient populations could contribute to such incidents. Residents are urged to remain vigilant, particularly in high-traffic zones during evenings and weekends.

Cleethorpes’ crime rate in November 2025 stood at 11.5 per 1,000 residents, a 6.4% decrease from the previous month’s 12.3 per 1,000. While this marks a slight downward trend, the rate remains 57.5% above the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. On a daily basis, the area recorded roughly 11 crimes per day, reflecting a persistent challenge in maintaining public safety. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 87 residents, a figure that underscores the frequency of incidents within a relatively small population of 29,734. This monthly exposure rate, while not uncommon for urban areas, highlights the need for continued awareness and community engagement. The decrease from October may be linked to seasonal factors, such as shorter evenings and reduced foot traffic during the post-Black Friday period, though the overall rate remains a concern compared to national benchmarks.
