Redcar Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

November 2025 marked a combination of seasonal influences and persistent local challenges in Redcar, a built-up area within Redcar and Cleveland. The overall crime rate of 11.5 per 1,000 residents—57.5% above the UK average—reveals a stark contrast to national trends, with violence and sexual offences (36.7% of total crimes) and anti-social behaviour (14.0%) dominating the crime profile. These figures align with Redcar's character as a coastal town with a mix of industrial heritage and residential communities, where high-street retail areas and public spaces may contribute to both anti-social behaviour and violent incidents. The seasonal context of November—marked by Bonfire Night, Black Friday shopping, and extended darkness—likely amplifies certain crime patterns. For example, the 36.7% share of violent crime may reflect increased social interactions during festive events, while anti-social behaviour could be linked to alcohol-related incidents in public areas. Despite these challenges, the data also shows some stability: the crime rate remained nearly unchanged from October, suggesting that local policing strategies and community initiatives may be maintaining a degree of control over more volatile crime types. The UK comparison highlights the need for targeted interventions, particularly in addressing violent crime, which remains 63% above the national average. This persistent gap underscores the importance of understanding Redcar's unique socio-economic dynamics, including its proximity to major transport routes and the influence of seasonal tourism on local crime patterns.

November 2025 saw a dramatic 200% increase in possession of weapons offences, jumping from 2 to 6 cases. This sharp rise, though small in absolute terms, highlights a concerning trend that may relate to seasonal factors such as increased alcohol consumption during Bonfire Night. Concurrently, vehicle crime surged by 140% (from 5 to 12), likely tied to the Black Friday shopping period and darker evenings reducing visibility. Burglary also rose by 75%, potentially reflecting increased home occupancy during the holiday season. In contrast, public order offences fell by 46.3% (from 41 to 22), due to reduced street activity during colder weather. Anti-social behaviour dropped by 30%, which could indicate effective policing during high-profile events like Bonfire Night. Violent crime remains 63% above the UK average at 4.2 per 1,000, a figure that warrants ongoing scrutiny given its disproportionate impact on local safety.

Redcar's crime rate in November 2025 remained stable compared to October, falling by just 1.0% to 11.5 per 1,000 residents. This suggests continuity in local crime patterns despite seasonal shifts. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately 15 crimes per day, reflecting a consistent level of activity that has not shown significant fluctuation over recent months. When considering the population context, the monthly exposure figure indicates that one crime occurred for roughly every 87 residents, a measure that provides a tangible sense of risk for residents. While this rate is higher than the UK average, the lack of sharp month-on-month movement implies that underlying factors—such as local demographics or economic conditions—continue to shape crime trends. The comparison to the UK average underscores the need for targeted interventions, as Redcar's rates for violent crime and anti-social behaviour remain elevated relative to national benchmarks.
