Bracebridge Heath Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

In November 2025, Bracebridge Heath recorded 21 total crimes, a rate of 3.6 per 1,000 residents—50.7% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. This figure, while showing a 49.8% increase from October's rate of 2.4 per 1,000, remains a stark contrast to national trends. The area's crime profile is shaped by its character as a built-up area within North Kesteven, where commercial and residential zones intersect. The most common crimes were violence and sexual offences (5 incidents, 23.8% of total), followed by other theft (4 incidents, 19.1%) and shoplifting (4 incidents, 19.1%). These patterns align with seasonal factors: the surge in theft offences may be linked to Black Friday shopping, while the increase in criminal damage and arson (3 incidents, 14.3%) could be connected to Bonfire Night activities. Despite the month-on-month rise, the area's violent crime rate remains 65% below the UK average, suggesting a broader safety advantage. The low overall rate may reflect the area's relatively small size and stable community dynamics, though the sharp increases in specific categories highlight the need for targeted awareness around high-risk periods. The data also shows that anti-social behaviour (3 incidents, 14.3%) is 53% below the UK average, further illustrating the area's generally low-level crime environment. This context, combined with the seasonal influences of November, illustrates an area that is typically safe but not immune to temporary spikes in specific crime types.

November 2025 saw sharp increases in specific crime categories, with other theft and shoplifting each tripling from October's figures (1 to 4 incidents). This surge aligns with seasonal factors such as Black Friday shopping, which may have driven retail-related theft. Criminal damage and arson also doubled from October, potentially linked to Bonfire Night activities. While the overall crime rate rose 49.8% compared to the previous month, the area's violent crime rate remains 65% below the UK average for violence and sexual offences. Other theft in Bracebridge Heath is 37% above the UK average, highlighting a localised trend that contrasts with the national picture. These fluctuations underscore the influence of seasonal events on crime patterns, with retail and public space-focused offences showing the most volatility. The data suggests that while the area remains generally safe, specific pockets or times may experience spikes tied to November's commercial and social rhythms.

Bracebridge Heath's November 2025 crime rate of 3.6 per 1,000 residents is 50.7% below the UK average, reflecting a consistently lower crime profile compared to national trends. This figure represents a 49.8% increase from the previous month's rate of 2.4 per 1,000, though the area remains well below the UK benchmark. Daily crime statistics show an average of one reported crime per day in November, a figure that translates to a manageable monthly exposure for residents—roughly one crime for every 277 residents over the course of the month. When scaled to population size, the 21 total crimes recorded in November equate to 3.6 incidents per 1,000 people, a rate that is significantly lower than the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. This disparity underscores the area's relatively safe environment, though the month-on-month rise suggests a need for continued monitoring of local factors that may influence crime trends. The population-scaled perspective further illustrates that even with the increase, the risk for any individual resident remains comparatively low, with crime occurring at a frequency that is far below the national average.
