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, placing it 54.3% above the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. This figure reflects a combination of local and national factors, with violent crimes dominating the landscape. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 39.6% of total incidents, a category that is 75% above the UK average. This overrepresentation may be linked to the area’s urban-rural mix, where high-density residential zones and industrial sites coexist. Property crimes, particularly shoplifting (10.6% of total crimes), highlight the role of retail hubs in driving theft, while criminal damage and arson (10.5%) suggest ongoing issues with vandalism in public spaces. The seasonal context of June—marking the start of summer—may contribute to increased outdoor activity and tourism, influencing crime patterns. However, the data also reveals pockets of lower-than-average crime: anti-social behaviour is 8% below the UK rate, and robbery is 9% below, indicating that some areas or demographics may be relatively safer. The 12.5 per 1,000 rate is particularly striking given the region’s population of 159,911, underscoring the need for targeted policing strategies. While the overall rate is significantly higher than the UK average, the breakdown of crime types illustrates a nuanced picture, with violent crimes and property-related offences dominating. This data may prompt local authorities to consider interventions tailored to specific crime hotspots, such as increased patrols in retail areas or community programmes addressing root causes of violence.

The most dramatic month-on-month shift in June 2025 was a 66.7% increase in theft from the person, rising from 3 to 5 incidents. This spike, though small in absolute terms, signals a potential shift in criminal activity patterns, possibly linked to increased foot traffic during summer evenings or changes in public behaviour. Concurrently, possession of weapons surged by 64.3% (14 to 23), a rise that could reflect heightened tensions in specific areas or a shift in crime dynamics. Vehicle crime also rose sharply by 37.7% (61 to 84), likely driven by seasonal factors such as increased car use during warmer weather or targeted thefts in parking areas. These increases contrast with anti-social behaviour, which remained below the UK average by 8%. The breakdown also reveals stark disparities: violence and sexual offences, at 5.0 per 1,000, are 75% above the UK average, while theft from the person is 100% below the national rate. Residents may find the 10.6% share of shoplifting in the total crime count particularly relevant, as it suggests retail areas remain a focal point for property-related offences.

North East Lincolnshire’s crime rate in June 2025 rose 12.0% from 11.2 per 1,000 in May to 12.5 per 1,000, marking the first monthly increase in the region’s crime statistics this year. This rise translates to an estimated 67 crimes reported daily, a figure that underscores the persistent pressure on local policing and community safety initiatives. Over the course of June, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 80 residents, a monthly aggregate that highlights the frequency of incidents within a relatively small population base. While this rate is significantly higher than the UK average, the comparison reveals a stark contrast in local challenges: for every 1,000 residents in North East Lincolnshire, there are 12.5 crimes, compared to just 8.1 across the UK. This discrepancy is particularly pronounced in categories like violence and sexual offences, which are 75% above the UK average. The population-scaled perspective suggests that residents face a higher risk of encountering crime than the national average, a factor that may influence local perceptions of safety and demand for targeted interventions.
