Ingleby Barwick Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Ingleby Barwick's crime profile in June 2025 reveals a striking anomaly: a rate of 3.5 per 1,000, 56.8% below the UK average of 8.1. This disparity underscores the area's unique characteristics, likely shaped by its position as a built-up suburb within Stockton-on-Tees. Anti-social behaviour dominated with 31 incidents (33% of all crimes), followed by violence and sexual offences (29, 31%) and shoplifting (10, 11%). These figures, though lower than national averages, suggest a community grappling with persistent local issues rather than systemic underperformance. The seasonal context of June—marking the start of summer and the longest days—may contribute to the prominence of anti-social behaviour, which often peaks during warmer months. However, the 62% gap between local and national rates for violence and sexual offences indicates a broader success in crime prevention. The low burglary rate (1 incident) and bicycle theft (1) further reinforce Ingleby Barwick's safety profile, contrasting with the UK's higher rates for these categories. This data illustrates a community with effective policing strategies. monthly increase in overall crime rate compared to May suggests emerging challenges. The interplay between local initiatives, demographic factors, and seasonal rhythms will be critical in sustaining this relatively low crime environment.

June 2025 saw a dramatic 400% increase in criminal damage and arson, rising from 2 to 10 incidents. This surge, though not uncommon in summer months, contrasts sharply with the 62% below UK average for violence and sexual offences. Other crime also doubled, reaching 5 incidents—a category that, unlike most others, exceeded the UK average by 25%. Meanwhile, anti-social behaviour remained the most common offence, accounting for 33% of all reported crimes, yet still 15% below the UK rate. The 100% increase in bicycle theft, though small in absolute terms, may reflect seasonal patterns as summer cycling activity rises. These shifts highlight a combination of local factors and broader trends, with some categories defying national averages while others align closely. Residents may find the 36.2% monthly rise in overall crime rate a useful benchmark for understanding recent changes.

Ingleby Barwick's crime rate in June 2025 rose 36.2% compared to May's 2.6 per 1,000, reaching 3.5 per 1,000. This increase, though modest, reflects a shift in local patterns. On average, 3 crimes were reported daily in June—a figure that, while low, highlights the area's relative safety. Over the course of the month, 1 in every 283 residents experienced a reported crime, a statistic that contextualises the monthly exposure for residents. This rate remains significantly lower than the UK average, but the upward trend may indicate emerging pressures. With a population of 26,556, the area's small size amplifies the impact of even minor fluctuations. The daily crime count, though low, underscores the need for vigilance during periods of transition, such as the start of summer when community dynamics shift. This comparison to previous months and national averages illustrates Ingleby Barwick's position as a relatively safe but evolving neighbourhood.
