Egglescliffe Crime Rate March 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Egglescliffe's March 2025 crime rate of 4.5 per 1,000 residents marked a 42.3% deficit compared to the UK average of 7.8 per 1,000. This performance, while consistent with the area's historical safety profile, revealed a striking outlier: 'Other crime' surged 163% above the UK average, despite accounting for only 10.6% of total incidents. The most prevalent crime type was violence and sexual offences (21.3% of total crimes), which remained 63% below national levels—a pattern likely influenced by Egglescliffe's relatively low population density and suburban character. Anti-social behaviour (17.0% of total crimes) also fell sharply below the UK average (36% deficit), suggesting effective community policing or social cohesion. Seasonal factors may have played a role in shaping these figures: as March transitions to spring, the lengthening evenings could have influenced patterns of outdoor activity, contributing to the rise in vehicle crime and burglary. However, the area's overall safety remains evident, with no major crime categories exceeding UK averages except for 'Other crime', which may reflect niche issues requiring further investigation.

March 2025 saw sharp increases in burglary (+200%), public order offences (+200%), and vehicle crime (+100%) compared to February. These spikes contrast with a 57.1% drop in shoplifting, which fell from seven to three incidents. The category of 'Other crime' stood out as 163% above the UK average, though this remains a small share of total crimes (5 cases). Meanwhile, violence and sexual offences (21.3% of total crimes) were 63% below the UK average, a trend consistent with Egglescliffe's overall safety profile. For residents, the most immediate concern appears to be the doubling of burglary cases—though this remains a rare occurrence given the area's low overall rate. The data suggests a shift in crime patterns, with property-related issues rising while public order and anti-social behaviour incidents declined slightly.

Egglescliffe's crime rate in March 2025 rose by 34.3% compared to the previous month, moving from 3.4 to 4.5 per 1,000 residents. While this increase may reflect seasonal transitions—such as longer evenings during spring—it remains significantly below the UK average of 7.8 per 1,000. Locally, this translates to roughly 2 crimes reported per day, a figure that, while low, highlights the need for continued vigilance in specific areas. Over the course of March, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 220 residents, a monthly exposure rate that places Egglescliffe among the safer built-up areas in the UK. When scaled to the population of 10,349, this suggests that most residents are unlikely to encounter crime in their daily lives. However, the rise in certain categories—such as burglary and public order offences—deserves closer attention to localized factors, such as changes in community activity or environmental conditions.
