Saltburn-by-the-Sea Crime Rate November 2024 | Monthly Statistics

For every 1,000 residents in Saltburn-by-the-Sea, 7.2 crimes were reported in November 2024, placing the area 5.3% below the UK average of 7.6 per 1,000. This rate translates to a daily risk of encountering one crime for every 140 residents over the course of the month, a figure that underscores the relatively low crime exposure compared to national benchmarks. The most prevalent crime types were violence and sexual offences (16 incidents, 38.1% of total), followed by other theft (5 incidents, 11.9%) and shoplifting (5 incidents, 11.9%). These patterns align with the area's character as a coastal town with seasonal fluctuations in activity, particularly during November's darker evenings and events like Bonfire Night. While violent crimes remained 5% above the UK average, the overall rate benefits from lower property crime rates compared to national figures. The absence of a significant spike in vehicle crime, despite the town's proximity to major roads, suggests effective local deterrents. However, the 300% increase in burglaries highlights a vulnerability that may be linked to seasonal home security challenges. The balance between violent and property crimes reflects the town's mix of residential and commercial areas, with retail spaces likely contributing to theft-related incidents. As the month progressed, the interplay between seasonal events and crime patterns became more pronounced, with darker evenings potentially increasing the risk of public order offences and anti-social behaviour. These findings illustrate the nuanced relationship between local geography, seasonal rhythms, and crime dynamics, offering insights for both residents and policymakers.

November 2024 saw a 300% surge in burglaries, jumping from one to four incidents, likely linked to seasonal property vulnerabilities. Public order offences doubled, rising from one to two, possibly reflecting increased community gatherings during Bonfire Night. Meanwhile, anti-social behaviour dropped by 58.3% (from 12 to 5), suggesting a potential shift in local activity patterns. Violence and sexual offences remained 5% above the UK average at 2.7 per 1,000, despite the overall rate being lower nationally. Other theft and shoplifting both rose by 16.7% and 16.7% respectively, though these figures still fall below the UK averages for their categories. Vehicle crime, which had been absent in October, emerged with two incidents, a 100% increase. These fluctuations highlight the dynamic nature of crime in the area, with certain categories responding more acutely to seasonal factors than others.

Saltburn-by-the-Sea's crime rate in November 2024 (7.2 per 1,000 residents) marked a 10.5% increase from the previous month's rate of 6.5 per 1,000. This translates to roughly one crime reported per day over the 30-day period, or one crime occurring for every 140 residents during the month. While the overall rate remains 5.3% below the UK average, the shift in crime patterns raises questions about localized factors. The daily crime figure provides a tangible reference for residents: over the course of a typical working week, the likelihood of encountering a reported crime is approximately 1 in 280. This metric, when paired with the population-scaled perspective, offers a clearer picture of how crime risk aligns with daily life in the area. The increase in violent crimes, despite the overall rate being below the UK average, suggests a need to examine seasonal influences such as darker evenings and events like Bonfire Night, which may heighten vulnerability in public spaces.
