North East Lincolnshire Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

North East Lincolnshire recorded a crime rate of 10.4 per 1,000 residents in November 2025, placing it 42.5% above the UK average of 7.3. This figure underscores a persistent challenge for local authorities, with violent crimes dominating the landscape at 38% of all reported incidents. Violence and sexual offences (635 cases) were the most prevalent category, significantly exceeding the UK average by 56%. This spike may be influenced by the seasonal context of November, including Bonfire Night and the onset of darker evenings, which can heighten tensions and reduce visibility in public spaces. Shoplifting (182 cases) and criminal damage and arson (199 cases) also contributed heavily to the crime mix, both of which were 75% and 126% above UK averages respectively. The area’s retail and commercial hubs likely play a role in driving these property-related crimes, as well as the broader economic factors affecting the region. While anti-social behaviour decreased by 26.3% compared to the previous month, the overall crime profile remains a cause for concern. The combination of high violent crime rates and property offences suggests a combination of local factors, including community dynamics and the impact of seasonal events on crime patterns. Residents are advised to remain vigilant, particularly in areas experiencing spikes in theft from the person and public order incidents.

November 2025 saw a 100% increase in theft from the person, with incidents rising from 3 to 6. This sharp rise, though still low in absolute terms (0.0 per 1,000), may reflect heightened public awareness during Black Friday shopping or increased opportunistic activity in crowded areas. Public order offences surged by 18.5%, reaching 141 cases, consistent with Bonfire Night events and the impact of dark evenings on public gatherings. Possession of weapons also climbed by 37.5%, from 16 to 22, a figure that is 43% above the UK average. This increase, while not yet reaching alarming levels, could signal emerging patterns in local criminal activity. Conversely, bicycle theft plummeted by 64.3%, with cases falling from 42 to 15, due to seasonal factors or improved security measures. These shifts highlight the volatility of crime trends and the need for targeted interventions in areas experiencing spikes.

North East Lincolnshire's crime rate in November 2025 fell by 11.0% compared to the previous month, dropping from 11.7 to 10.4 per 1,000 residents. This decline aligns with a reduction in anti-social behaviour and robbery, though violent and property crimes remain elevated. Locally, 56 crimes were reported daily, translating to one incident for every 96 residents over the course of the month. This monthly exposure rate underscores the persistent presence of crime in the area, even as overall rates decreased. The population context reveals that residents face a higher likelihood of encountering crime than the UK average, with 10.4 incidents per 1,000 people compared to 7.3 nationally. While the drop from November 2025 to October 2025 suggests some stabilization, the area’s crime profile remains significantly above the UK average, requiring continued vigilance. The daily crime count provides a tangible measure of risk, emphasizing the need for community engagement and targeted policing strategies to address persistent issues.
