Immingham Crime Rate April 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For a population of 10,380, Immingham recorded 85 crimes in April 2025, translating to a crime rate of 8.2 per 1,000 residents—6.5% above the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. This rate reflects a slight seasonal shift as spring activity increases, with Easter-related events potentially contributing to higher visibility of certain crimes. The most common crime type was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 42.4% of all reported incidents, followed by criminal damage and arson (16.5%) and anti-social behaviour (15.3%). These patterns align with Immingham’s character as a coastal town with a mix of industrial and residential areas, where public spaces and community interactions may influence crime dynamics. Violence and sexual offences, in particular, were 34% above the UK average for this category, suggesting local factors such as social gatherings or economic pressures may play a role. The high rate of criminal damage and arson (146% above the UK average) could reflect seasonal patterns, with Easter-related celebrations or increased outdoor activity leading to more incidents. However, the decrease in vehicle crime by 85.7% compared to March 2025 may indicate a shift in seasonal activity or improved security measures. As a port town, Immingham’s crime profile is shaped by both its industrial infrastructure and the transient nature of some populations, though direct causal links to these factors. The overall crime rate remains slightly above the UK average, but the breakdown shows a combination of local conditions and broader trends.

April 2025 saw significant shifts in Immingham’s crime mix, with criminal damage and arson rising by 75% (from 8 to 14 incidents) and other theft increasing by 40% (from 5 to 7). This surge in property-related crimes may partly explain the 6.5% increase in the overall crime rate compared to the UK average. Conversely, vehicle crime dropped by 85.7% (from 7 to 1), a dramatic decline that could reflect reduced traffic during the Easter holiday period or improved parking security in the port area. Public order offences also fell by 50%, from 10 to 5, linked to fewer large-scale events in April compared to March. Violence and sexual offences remained high, at 34% above the UK average for this category. This may be influenced by the area’s mix of residential and industrial zones, where interactions between different population groups could contribute to such incidents. The decrease in burglary (50%) and shoplifting (25%) is also worth noting, though shoplifting’s rate (0.5 per 1,000) remains 24% below the UK average. These fluctuations highlight how seasonal and situational factors, such as holiday periods and weather, can shape local crime patterns.

Immingham’s crime rate in April 2025 (8.2 per 1,000) was 7.6% lower than the previous month’s rate of 8.9 per 1,000, indicating a downward trend over the short term. On a daily basis, the area experienced roughly 3 crimes per day, a figure that contextualises the monthly total of 85 as a relatively steady pace of incidents. Over the course of the month, 1 reported crime occurred for every 122 residents, a monthly exposure rate that provides residents with a tangible sense of risk. For a population of 10,380, this means that every resident has a 1-in-122 chance of being directly involved in a crime during April, though this does not account for indirect impacts such as community anxiety or economic effects. The comparison to the UK average also shows that while Immingham’s overall rate is slightly elevated, specific categories like anti-social behaviour (2% below the UK average) and public order offences (7% below) suggest areas where local conditions may be slightly more controlled. This contrast with the UK average highlights the importance of understanding Immingham’s unique demographics and geography, which include a port, industrial sites, and residential communities, all of which may influence crime patterns differently than more urban or rural areas.
