Grantham Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Grantham's crime rate in June 2025 stood at 9.0 per 1,000 residents, placing the area 11.1% above the UK average of 8.1. This figure reflects a persistent challenge in maintaining public safety, though the breakdown of crime types reveals a complex picture. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 33.2% of all reported crimes, with 138 incidents recorded—a rate of 3.0 per 1,000, 5% above the UK average. Anti-social behaviour followed closely, contributing 28.9% of total crimes (120 incidents) at a rate of 2.6 per 1,000, an 83% gap above the UK benchmark. These two categories dominate the crime profile, suggesting that community tensions and disorder remain significant issues. Criminal damage and arson, with 41 incidents (9.9% of total), also exceeded the UK average by 55%, indicating a need for targeted interventions in this area. The seasonal context of June, marking the beginning of summer, may influence these patterns, as increased outdoor activity and tourism could exacerbate anti-social behaviour and property-related crimes. However, the data also shows some positive developments: shoplifting decreased by 15.2% compared to May, and burglary fell sharply by 87.5%, though the latter may be partly attributed to a small number of incidents in previous months. These variations highlight the importance of considering both local factors and broader national trends when assessing crime dynamics. The contrast between the high rates of violent and anti-social crimes and the relatively lower rates in categories like public order (5.8%, 15% below the UK average) suggests that the area faces specific challenges that require tailored strategies for mitigation.

June 2025 saw a sharp 275% increase in vehicle crime, with incidents rising from 4 to 15. This surge aligns with the start of summer, when increased vehicle usage and tourism may contribute to higher theft rates. Bicycle theft also rose by 150%, from 2 to 5, a trend that could reflect seasonal patterns in cycling activity or targeted theft in specific areas. Conversely, burglary dropped by 87.5%, from 8 to 1, a decline that may indicate the effectiveness of local security measures or a shift in criminal focus. Shoplifting decreased by 15.2%, from 33 to 28, though this modest reduction contrasts with the overall upward trend in other categories. Anti-social behaviour remained the second most common crime, with 120 incidents reported—83% above the UK average—highlighting ongoing challenges in community management. These fluctuations suggest a mixed picture of local crime dynamics, with some categories showing marked improvement while others continue to rise.

Grantham's crime rate in June 2025 rose to 9.0 per 1,000 residents, marking a 20.8% increase from the previous month's rate of 7.4. This shift positions the area 11.1% above the UK average, a notable divergence that warrants closer examination. On a daily basis, the town experienced approximately 14 crimes per day, translating to one reported crime for every 111 residents over the course of the month. This monthly exposure figure underscores the frequency of incidents within a relatively small population base, though it does not account for variations in reporting or population density. The contrast between this month's statistics and those of May highlights a significant uptick in certain crime categories, particularly in anti-social behaviour and violence, while others, such as burglary, saw marked declines. These fluctuations suggest a combination of local factors and broader trends. The population context further illustrates that even a modest number of incidents can have a noticeable impact on a community of 46,262 residents, emphasizing the need for targeted interventions and community engagement.
