Grimsby Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Grimsby's crime rate in June 2025 stood at 14.6 per 1,000 residents, a figure 80.2% above the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. This marked departure from the national trend is most evident in the dominance of violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 38.1% of all reported crimes. These incidents, occurring at a rate of 5.6 per 1,000 residents, are 96% above the UK average, reflecting a severe imbalance in the area's crime profile. The second most common category, criminal damage and arson, also far exceeded national rates, with 1.7 per 1,000 residents compared to the UK's 0.6 per 1,000. This suggests a persistent issue with property-related crime in Grimsby, likely influenced by its industrial heritage and the seasonal dynamics of a coastal town. June, as the start of the summer season, may have contributed to increased foot traffic in public spaces, potentially exacerbating incidents of anti-social behaviour and public order offences. However, the data also reveals some positive trends, such as the 37.5% decline in bicycle theft, which may indicate the effectiveness of local initiatives or the natural seasonal shift in transportation preferences. The overall crime profile in Grimsby appears to be shaped by a combination of its urban characteristics, the presence of a significant retail sector, and the socio-economic factors unique to the region. These patterns are consistent with the broader challenges faced by post-industrial towns, where economic stagnation and social fragmentation can contribute to higher rates of violent crime and property damage.

June 2025 saw a stark rise in theft from the person, jumping 300% from one reported incident to four. This sharp increase, though numerically small, may reflect heightened activity in public spaces during the summer season. Concurrently, vehicle crime surged by 54.1% compared to May, linked to increased car usage during longer daylight hours. In contrast, bicycle theft dropped by 37.5%, due to warmer weather reducing the need for bikes or improved security measures in local cycling areas. Violence and sexual offences remained the most prevalent crime category, accounting for 38.1% of all incidents, a rate 96% above the UK average. This disparity underscores the need for focused strategies in addressing violent crime, which affects Grimsby compared to the national profile.

Grimsby's crime rate in June 2025 rose to 14.6 per 1,000 residents, marking a 10.5% increase from the previous month's 13.2 per 1,000. This places the area significantly above the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000, with the gap widening over recent months. Daily crime statistics reveal 44 crimes reported per day in June, a figure that underscores the persistent pressure on local policing resources. Over the course of the month, one crime was reported for every 69 residents, a monthly exposure rate that, while not uncommon for urban areas, highlights the need for targeted interventions. When scaled to the population of 91,085, this rate suggests that residents face a higher risk of encountering crime compared to the national average. The shift from May to June also aligns with seasonal patterns, as the start of summer and increased tourism may influence both the types and frequency of reported incidents.
