Immingham Crime Rate June 2024 | Monthly Statistics

June 2024 marked a shift in Immingham's crime profile, with the area recording 88 crimes across 10,380 residents — a rate of 8.5 per 1,000, placing it 3.7% above the UK average of 8.2 per 1,000. This increase reflects a growing emphasis on violent crimes, which accounted for 43.2% of total offences, including 38 instances of violence and sexual offences. This category alone is 34% higher than the UK average, a pattern consistent with Immingham's role as a coastal town experiencing seasonal surges in tourism and associated social activity. Property crimes, while lower than violent offences, still contributed 30 cases, with other theft (8 incidents) and shoplifting (7 cases) emerging as notable concerns. The seasonal context of June — the start of summer and the beginning of tourist activity — likely contributes to these trends, as retail areas and public spaces become more crowded. Anti-social behaviour, however, declined by 30% compared to May, potentially reflecting increased policing efforts or natural fluctuations in community activity. The data illustrates a combination of local demographics, tourism patterns, and the area's geographic character, with violent crimes concentrated in public spaces and property crimes linked to retail hubs. This month's figures highlight the need for targeted interventions in high-risk zones, particularly as summer continues to draw more visitors.

June 2024 saw significant month-on-month changes in Immingham's crime profile, with bicycle theft, other theft, and vehicle crime all doubling from May's figures. This surge in property-related offences may be linked to the summer season, as increased foot traffic and vehicle movement in retail and tourist areas create opportunities for theft. Conversely, anti-social behaviour fell by 30%, and criminal damage and arson dropped by 25%, suggesting a possible reduction in alcohol-fuelled incidents or more effective community engagement. Violence and sexual offences remained the most pressing concern, with 38 cases — 3.7 per 1,000 — a rate 34% above the UK average. This stark deviation from national trends is consistent with Immingham's coastal location, where late-night activity in public spaces may heighten vulnerability. Other theft (8 cases) also outpaced the UK average by 38%, a figure that could be attributed to the town's proximity to industrial zones or its role as a logistics hub. Meanwhile, anti-social behaviour (7 cases) was 50% below the UK average, a discrepancy that may reflect local initiatives or demographic differences in social behaviour. The data also reveals a 329% increase in possession of weapons compared to the UK average, a category that, while small in volume, warrants careful monitoring. These findings underscore the importance of seasonal and geographic factors in shaping crime patterns, with Immingham's unique position as a coastal town influencing both violent and property-related offences.

Immingham's crime rate in June 2024 rose to 8.5 per 1,000, a 20.6% increase from the previous month's rate of 7.0 per 1,000. This upward trend means that, on average, one reported crime occurred for every 118 residents over the course of the month — a figure that, while not alarmingly high, suggests a noticeable acceleration in criminal activity. Daily crime counts averaged three incidents per day, a localised metric that provides a more immediate sense of risk for residents. When scaled to the area's population of 10,380, the 88 total crimes translate to a manageable but non-trivial exposure rate. However, the contrast with the UK average highlights Immingham's distinct challenges: while the national average remains stable, this built-up area within North East Lincolnshire has seen a sharper increase in violent crimes and certain property offences. The disparity is particularly evident in categories like violence and sexual offences, which are 34% above the UK average, and other theft, which is 38% higher. These figures may reflect local factors such as the area's coastal tourism industry or its role as a transport and logistics hub, both of which could contribute to higher levels of public interaction and associated risks. While the overall rate is only marginally above the UK average, the specific categories of concern suggest a need for targeted strategies to address the unique drivers of crime in Immingham.
