North East Lincolnshire Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

North East Lincolnshire's crime rate in November 2025 stood at 10.4 per 1,000 residents — 42.5% above the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. This stark deviation from national norms highlights a combination of local factors, including seasonal pressures and community dynamics. The most significant contributor to the elevated rate was violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 38.0% of all reported crimes (635 incidents). This category alone was 56% above the UK average, underscoring the area’s ongoing struggle with violent crime. Criminal damage and arson followed closely, with 199 incidents reported — 126% above the national figure. These patterns may be influenced by the area’s mix of urban and rural environments, where vandalism can occur in both densely populated centres and isolated locations. Shoplifting also saw a notable spike, with 182 incidents (10.9% of total crimes) — 75% above the UK average. This could be linked to the retail sector’s exposure during Black Friday, a period when stores see heightened foot traffic and potential vulnerabilities. The seasonal context of November, marked by Bonfire Night and the onset of darker evenings, likely contributed to an uptick in public order offences (141 incidents), which were 91% above the UK average. While anti-social behaviour decreased by 26.3% (from 160 to 118), this drop may be temporary, given the broader trend of rising aggression and disorder in the area. The overall picture suggests that local authorities must address both immediate safety concerns and systemic issues driving crime rates significantly above national levels.

November 2025 saw a sharp increase in theft from the person, which doubled from 3 to 6 incidents — a 100% rise. This jump, though small in absolute terms, signals a troubling trend that residents should be vigilant about, particularly in public spaces. Concurrently, public order offences rose by 18.5%, from 119 to 141, likely influenced by the darker evenings of late November and the proximity to Bonfire Night. The category of violence and sexual offences remains 56% above the UK average, with 635 incidents reported — a figure that reflects the area’s ongoing challenge with violent crime. While bicycle theft fell by 64.3% (from 42 to 15), this reduction may be attributed to seasonal factors such as the end of the cycling season. However, the 75% increase in shoplifting compared to the UK average raises questions about retail security measures in the region.

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, while notable, still leaves the area 42.5% above the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. On a daily basis, the area recorded an average of 56 crimes per day in November, a figure that underscores the persistent pressure on local policing resources. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 96 residents, a monthly exposure rate that highlights the scale of incidents affecting the population. When contextualised against the local population of 159,911, this means approximately 1,670 crimes were reported across the district — a number that, while lower than October, remains significantly higher than national benchmarks. The decrease in anti-social behaviour (down 26.3%) and robbery (down 54.5%) suggests some areas of improvement, but the overall trajectory remains concerning for residents.
