Redcar Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Redcar's built-up area recorded 485 crimes in June 2025, equating to 12.4 crimes per 1,000 residents—a rate 53.1% above the UK average of 8.1. This figure, when scaled to Redcar's population of 39,007, underscores the significant local impact of crime. The most prevalent category was violence and sexual offences (155 cases, 32% of total), followed by anti-social behaviour (123 cases, 25.4%). These crime types reflect a pattern consistent with areas experiencing high foot traffic, public spaces, and seasonal fluctuations. The start of summer in June may have influenced crime dynamics, as longer daylight hours and increased tourism could contribute to higher incidents in public areas. Violence and sexual offences, at 4.0 per 1,000 residents, were 40% above the UK average, suggesting a potential correlation with the area's demographics or environmental factors. Anti-social behaviour, at 3.2 per 1,000, was 125% above the UK average, indicating a possible link to community interactions or social infrastructure. The area's mix of residential, commercial, and industrial zones may also play a role, as such environments often see higher concentrations of both property and violent crime. Property crimes, including burglary and shoplifting, accounted for 28.4% of total incidents, with burglary at 0.6 per 1,000 residents, 114% above the UK average. This suggests that the built-up area's commercial and residential zones may be particularly vulnerable to property-related incidents. The data also highlights the importance of understanding local contexts, as factors such as seasonal tourism, public events, and community engagement can influence crime patterns. While the UK average provides a useful benchmark, Redcar's specific circumstances—such as its coastal location and industrial history—must be considered when interpreting these statistics. The crime rate's elevation relative to national averages underscores the need for targeted interventions, community awareness, and localized strategies to address the unique challenges faced by the area.

June 2025 saw sharp increases in theft from the person (+100%) and other crime (+83.3%) compared to May, reflecting a notable shift in crime dynamics. While vehicle crime remained 19% below the UK average, violent crime—specifically violence and sexual offences—rose to 4.0 per 1,000, 40% above the national rate. Anti-social behaviour, at 3.2 per 1,000, was 125% above the UK average, a figure that may partly explain the 3.2% monthly increase in overall crime. Possession of weapons fell by 71.4% from 7 to 2 incidents, a drop that contrasts with the overall upward trend. These fluctuations highlight the combination of seasonal factors and local conditions, such as the start of summer tourism, which may influence both anti-social behaviour and property crime patterns. A concrete data point for residents: theft from the person doubled in June, suggesting heightened vigilance may be necessary in public spaces during the summer months. The breakdown also reveals that anti-social behaviour accounted for 25.4% of all crimes, significantly higher than the UK average, indicating a potential link to the area's social dynamics and public spaces. Meanwhile, the 19% below UK average for vehicle crime could reflect the area's infrastructure or traffic patterns.

Redcar's crime rate in June 2025 rose 3.2% to 12.4 per 1,000 residents from 12.1 in May, marking a subtle but discernible upward trend. This increase translates to approximately 16 crimes reported daily across the built-up area—a figure that, while locally specific, underscores the frequency of incidents residents may encounter. Over the course of the month, one crime occurred for roughly every 80 residents, a monthly aggregate that highlights the persistent presence of crime in daily life. Scaling this to Redcar's population of 39,007 reveals that the local impact is significant, with over 485 crimes recorded in June alone. The built-up area's mix of residential, commercial, and industrial zones may contribute to the concentration of incidents in high-traffic or densely populated areas. While the UK average daily crime rate remains unspecified, the local data shows a consistent pattern of elevated property and violent crime relative to national benchmarks. This monthly exposure figure, though not directly comparable to UK-wide metrics, underscores the need for localized awareness and community engagement in addressing specific crime trends.
