Amble Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Amble's crime rate for June 2025 stood at 7.3 per 1,000 residents, placing it 9.9% below the UK average of 8.1. This figure reflects a combination of local conditions and seasonal influences, with the start of the summer season marking a turning point in the area's crime patterns. The most prevalent crime type was violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 36.2% of all incidents, a rate of 2.6 per 1,000—9% below the UK average. This category's relatively lower rate compared to the national figure may be attributed to Amble's small, close-knit community and the limited presence of high-risk environments typically associated with violent crime. Anti-social behaviour followed closely, contributing 23.4% of the total crimes, with a rate of 1.7 per 1,000—20% above the UK average. This discrepancy could be linked to the area's seasonal dynamics, as the arrival of summer and increased visitor numbers may contribute to higher levels of anti-social conduct. Criminal damage and arson also stood out, with a rate of 1.1 per 1,000—90% above the UK average. This spike may be connected to the start of the tourist season, when increased activity in public spaces and the presence of temporary structures could lead to more incidents of damage. The overall crime profile in Amble thus reflects a balance between the stability of its local community and the pressures of seasonal changes, with the latter appearing to drive certain types of crime upward.

June 2025 saw a sharp increase in criminal damage and arson, which rose by 133.3% compared to the previous month, from three to seven incidents. This surge may be linked to the start of the summer season, when increased foot traffic in public areas could contribute to such offences. Other theft also rose by 100%, from one to two incidents, while burglary, which had previously been absent, increased to two reports. These month-on-month changes highlight a shift in the crime mix, with property-related offences becoming more prominent. Anti-social behaviour remained a significant concern, accounting for 23.4% of all crimes, though this category is 20% above the UK average. In contrast, vehicle crime and other theft were both below the UK average, with vehicle crime at 46% below and other theft at 41% below. This disparity in performance across crime types suggests that local factors, such as Amble's rural character and seasonal tourism patterns, play a role in shaping the area's crime profile.

Amble's crime rate in June 2025 rose to 7.3 per 1,000 residents, a 30.6% increase from the previous month's rate of 5.6.

On a daily basis, the area recorded roughly two crimes per day, a figure that underscores the relatively low volume of incidents compared to larger urban centres. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 138 residents, a monthly exposure rate that places Amble in the lower bracket of UK towns and cities. This statistic, while modest, highlights the importance of local awareness and community engagement in maintaining safety. The population context—Amble's 6,484 residents—further contextualises these figures, showing that even small changes in crime numbers can have a noticeable impact on a tightly knit community. The increase in June may reflect seasonal factors, such as the start of the tourist season, but further analysis will be needed to confirm this connection.
