North East Lincolnshire Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

North East Lincolnshire’s crime rate in June 2025 stood at 12.5 per 1,000 residents, 54.3% above the UK average of 8.1. This places the area significantly higher than the national benchmark, a position consistent with historical trends in the region. The most prevalent crime category was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 39.6% of all recorded crimes, with a rate of 5.0 per 1,000 residents—75% above the UK average. Shoplifting and criminal damage and arson followed closely, each contributing over 10% of total crimes, with rates 106% and 124% above the UK average respectively. The seasonal context of June, marked by the start of summer and longer daylight hours, likely contributes to the increased visibility of certain crimes, particularly those tied to public spaces. The area’s crime profile suggests a combination of urban and rural dynamics, with high rates of property-related offences in areas with significant retail presence and a higher proportion of violent crimes in densely populated zones. While the overall crime rate remains elevated, the distribution of specific offences indicates a need for targeted interventions. The sharp rise in theft from the person, though relatively small in absolute terms, signals a growing concern for personal safety in local communities. This trend may be influenced by the timing of summer holidays and increased foot traffic in key areas, though further data would be required to confirm this hypothesis. The presence of anti-social behaviour at a rate 8% below the UK average suggests some success in community-based initiatives, but the overall picture remains one of persistent challenges in crime reduction.

The most dramatic month-on-month change in June 2025 was a 66.7% increase in theft from the person, rising from 3 to 5 incidents. This category, which was previously below the UK average by 100%, now stands at 0.3 per 1,000 residents. Concurrently, possession of weapons surged by 64.3%, with incidents rising from 14 to 23—a figure 25% above the UK average. These increases contrast sharply with the 8% decline in anti-social behaviour, which remained below the UK average. Vehicle crime also rose by 37.7%, from 61 to 84 incidents, a rate 35% above the UK average. The spike in theft from the person is particularly notable for residents, as it represents a direct threat to personal safety in public spaces. The overall crime mix shifted further towards violent crimes, which now account for nearly 40% of all recorded incidents, compared to property crimes at 36.6%. This shift may reflect seasonal factors, such as increased foot traffic in local areas during the start of summer.

North East Lincolnshire's crime rate in June 2025 rose to 12.5 per 1,000 residents, a 12.0% increase from the previous month’s rate of 11.2. This marks the second consecutive month of upward movement, though the pace has slowed compared to earlier in the year. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately 67 crimes per day—a figure that reflects the ongoing pressure on local policing resources. Over the course of June, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 80 residents, a monthly aggregate that highlights the persistent nature of crime in the region. With a population of 159,911, this translates to a significant number of residents experiencing some form of crime during the month. The rise in violent crimes, particularly violence and sexual offences, which now account for 39.6% of all recorded crimes, suggests a shift in the crime profile compared to earlier months. This increase may partly explain the overall rise in the crime rate, though further analysis is needed to identify specific contributing factors.
