North Anston Crime Rate May 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For an area with 6,165 residents, North Anston reported 22 crimes in May 2025, translating to a crime rate of 3.6 per 1,000 people. This is 55.6% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000, reflecting a safer environment compared to the national picture. The most prevalent crime category was violence and sexual offences, which made up 50% of all reported incidents (11 cases), followed by public order (13.6%) and vehicle crime (13.6%). This pattern contrasts with the UK average, where violence and sexual offences typically account for 36% of all crimes. The seasonal context of May—marked by bank holidays and extended evenings—likely contributes to the higher proportion of violent crimes, as increased outdoor socialising and drinking may heighten tensions in public spaces. North Anston’s rate of anti-social behaviour (0.3 per 1,000) is 79% below the UK average of 1.4 per 1,000, suggesting a relatively low prevalence of disruptive activities in the area. However, the rise in vehicle crime (0.5 per 1,000) compared to the UK average of 0.4 per 1,000 indicates a specific vulnerability in this category, possibly linked to local transport infrastructure or parking patterns. The overall crime profile for North Anston illustrates a balance between low-level property crimes and a higher incidence of violent offences, shaped by both seasonal factors and the area’s urban character.

May 2025 saw notable shifts in crime trends, with violence and sexual offences increasing by 22.2% (from 9 to 11 cases) compared to April, likely driven by the extended evenings and socialising associated with the month. Vehicle crime also rose by 50.0%, from 2 to 3 incidents, a category where North Anston’s rate (0.5 per 1,000) is 25% above the UK average of 0.4 per 1,000. This could signal heightened activity in local parking areas or increased vehicle-related incidents during the warmer weather. Conversely, anti-social behaviour dropped by 71.4% (from 7 to 2 cases), possibly due to seasonal changes or effective community engagement efforts. The most significant month-on-month increase was in drug-related crimes, which jumped by 100.0% (from 0 to 1 case), though this remains a small proportion of total crimes (4.6%). This spike may warrant closer attention, though it is not clear whether it reflects a genuine trend or a one-off incident. North Anston’s violent crime rate (1.8 per 1,000) is 36% below the UK average, highlighting the area’s relative safety in this category. For residents, the consistent low rate of anti-social behaviour (79% below UK average) offers reassurance, particularly in public spaces where such incidents could disrupt community life.

North Anston’s crime rate in May 2025 (3.6 per 1,000) represents a 24.0% decrease from April’s rate of 4.7 per 1,000, demonstrating a downward trend over the past month. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately one crime per day in May, a figure that, while low, underscores the need for continued vigilance. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 280 residents, a monthly exposure rate that is significantly lower than the UK average. This statistic provides a tangible perspective for residents: the likelihood of experiencing a crime in North Anston during May was far less than in most other parts of the country. The population-scaled context further reinforces this: with 6,165 residents, the 22 reported crimes equate to a rate that is 55.6% below the UK average, placing North Anston in a safer bracket compared to the national landscape. This comparative advantage is most evident in categories like anti-social behaviour and criminal damage, where the area’s rates are 79% and 50% below the UK average, respectively. However, the slightly elevated vehicle crime rate (25% above the UK average) highlights a specific vulnerability that may require targeted interventions. For local residents, these figures offer both reassurance and a reminder that even in a relatively safe area, certain crime types demand attention.
