Immingham Crime Rate October 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Violence and sexual offences dominate Immingham’s crime profile in October 2025, accounting for nearly half of all reported crimes. With 37 incidents recorded, this category far exceeds the UK average for violent crime by 35%, highlighting a pressing local issue. The overall crime rate of 7.4 per 1,000 residents — 3.9% below the UK average — suggests that while Immingham is relatively safer than the national picture, violent crime remains a significant concern. The seasonal context of October, with darker evenings and the approach of Halloween, may partly explain the focus on violence, as such conditions can exacerbate tensions and increase opportunities for crime. Anti-social behaviour, at 0.9 per 1,000, is 29% below the UK average, potentially reflecting community efforts or demographic characteristics that contribute to lower levels of disorder. Public order offences also show a marked increase, with a rate of 0.8 per 1,000 — 51% above the UK average — which may be linked to local events or gatherings during the month. The relatively low rates of burglary (0.2 per 1,000) and vehicle crime (0.1 per 1,000) contrast with the UK averages, indicating that property-related crime is not a major driver in this area. These patterns align with Immingham’s character as a built-up area within North East Lincolnshire, where the mix of residential and industrial zones may influence crime dynamics differently than in more densely populated or tourist-heavy regions.

October 2025 saw a dramatic 500% increase in 'other theft' crimes, rising from one to six incidents. This surge, while not reflected in other categories, suggests a shift in criminal focus that may be influenced by seasonal factors such as Halloween. Concurrently, burglary and 'other crime' categories each doubled from the previous month, highlighting specific vulnerabilities that may require targeted policing efforts. Violence and sexual offences remained the dominant category, with a rate of 3.6 per 1,000 — 35% above the UK average for this category. This stark contrast to the UK figure indicates a localised challenge in addressing violent crime. Meanwhile, criminal damage and arson fell by 54.5%, and vehicle crime dropped by 50%, reflecting seasonal changes in activity levels or the impact of earlier interventions. These fluctuations underscore the dynamic nature of crime in Immingham, where certain categories can shift rapidly in response to local conditions.

Immingham’s crime rate rose by 16.7% from 6.4 to 7.4 per 1,000 residents in October 2025, marking a notable upward shift from the previous month. This increase, though modest in absolute terms, reflects a changing landscape in local crime patterns. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately two crimes per day, a figure that, while low compared to larger urban centres, underscores the need for vigilance in community policing. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 135 residents, a statistic that contextualises the scale of incidents relative to the local population of 10,380. This monthly exposure rate is particularly significant for residents, as it illustrates the frequency of crime in a way that aligns with everyday life in the area. The population-scaled perspective also highlights the relative safety of Immingham, as the rate remains below the UK average despite the month-on-month increase. These figures suggest that while crime is not a major concern in the area, the upward trend warrants continued monitoring.
