North Warwickshire Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

North Warwickshire's crime rate in June 2025 stood at 7.4 per 1,000 residents, 8.6% below the UK average of 8.1. This performance, while modest in absolute terms, reflects a consistent pattern of lower-than-average crime levels that aligns with the area's rural-urban character. The most prevalent crime types were violence and sexual offences (30.7% of total incidents), anti-social behaviour (25.3%), and vehicle crime (9.3%), a mix that suggests a combination of urban centres and rural outskirts. The seasonal context of June—the start of summer—may contribute to some of these patterns, with longer daylight hours potentially influencing both criminal activity and policing efficacy. The rate of violence and sexual offences fell by 12.6% compared to May, a decline that could be attributed to the start of summer holidays reducing opportunities for certain types of crime. However, anti-social behaviour remained significantly above the UK average, with 34% more incidents than the national figure. This discrepancy may be linked to the area's mix of densely populated towns and sparsely populated rural regions, where social dynamics can differ markedly. The relatively low rate of burglary (0.2 per 1,000) and shoplifting (0.2 per 1,000) compared to UK averages suggests that local factors—such as effective community engagement or targeted prevention efforts—may be playing a role. As the summer progresses, the interplay between seasonal tourism, local events, and police resource allocation will likely shape future crime trends.

The most dramatic month-on-month shift in June 2025 was the 200% increase in possession of weapons, rising from 2 to 6 incidents. This surge, though still low in absolute terms, highlights a potential uptick in firearm-related issues that may warrant closer monitoring. Concurrently, bicycle theft doubled, and drug-related offences doubled from 5 to 10 cases, suggesting shifts in criminal activity that could be linked to summer-specific factors such as increased outdoor activity or changes in drug trafficking routes. In contrast, violent crimes fell by 12.6% to 152, a reduction that may reflect the impact of seasonal changes or targeted policing efforts. Anti-social behaviour remained higher than the UK average, with 34% more incidents than the national figure, a trend that could be attributed to the area's mix of rural and urban spaces where community tensions may surface during the summer months.

North Warwickshire's crime rate in June 2025 remained stable compared to the previous month, rising by 1.7% from 7.3 to 7.4 per 1,000 residents. This slight increase is negligible in the context of the area's overall performance, which continues to sit 8.6% below the UK average. On a daily basis, 16 crimes were reported per day in June, a figure that provides a tangible sense of the pace at which incidents occur. Over the course of the month, one crime occurred for every 136 residents, a monthly exposure rate that translates to roughly a 0.7% chance of any resident being directly affected. This statistic, while low, underscores the relatively safe environment maintained in North Warwickshire. The population of 67,117 means that even small shifts in crime patterns can be meaningfully scaled, yet the consistent performance against UK benchmarks suggests systemic factors are at play, possibly linked to the area's rural-urban mix and local policing strategies.
