Yarm Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Yarm's crime profile in June 2025 reveals a striking anomaly: violence and sexual offences, at 15 incidents (37.5% of total crimes), were 37% below the UK average of 2.9 per 1,000. This contrasts sharply with the overall crime rate of 4.7 per 1,000, which is 42% lower than the UK's 8.1 per 1,000. The area's crime mix highlights a focus on personal safety issues, with violent crimes dominating over property-related offences. While property crimes (10 incidents) and anti-social behaviour (10 incidents) each contributed 25% to the total, their rates were also below UK averages—anti-social behaviour by 15% and property crime by 22%. Seasonal context may partly explain these patterns: June marks the start of summer, when increased foot traffic in Yarm's town centre and surrounding areas could influence crime dynamics. However, the significantly lower violent crime rate compared to national figures suggests local factors, such as community engagement or policing strategies, may be contributing. The data also shows a marked underrepresentation of public order offences (4 incidents, 10% of total), which were 15% below the UK average. This could reflect Yarm's relatively low levels of public intoxication or disorder, though further analysis would be needed to confirm. Overall, the crime picture illustrates a built-up area within Stockton-on-Tees where personal safety concerns are prioritised over property crime, with a crime rate that remains lower than the UK average.

June 2025 saw a 50.0% increase in vehicle crime, rising from 2 to 3 incidents. This marks a stark shift in the crime mix, with vehicle crime now accounting for 7.5% of total incidents—though still slightly above the UK average of 0.4 per 1,000. Conversely, criminal damage and arson fell by 66.7% (3 to 1), and other crime dropped by 50.0% (2 to 1), suggesting a possible seasonal decline in vandalism during summer. Anti-social behaviour also declined by 41.2% (17 to 10), a significant reduction that may reflect the start of summer holidays reducing youth activity in public spaces. Violent crimes remained 37% below the UK average, despite being the largest single category (37.5% of total crimes). This suggests that while localised incidents occur, broader trends in Yarm's crime profile diverge from national patterns. For residents, the sharp rise in vehicle crime may warrant increased vigilance around parked vehicles, particularly in areas with high traffic flow. The contrast between Yarm's violent crime rate and UK averages—despite being a built-up area—raises questions about local factors that may mitigate such offences, though further data would be needed to identify precise causes.

Yarm's crime rate in June 2025 (4.7 per 1,000) represents a 27.2% decrease from the previous month's rate of 6.4 per 1,000. This decline aligns with the seasonal context of June, which typically sees reduced crime activity as summer begins. Over the course of the month, 40 total crimes were reported, equating to roughly 1 crime per day—significantly lower than the UK average daily crime rate, though no direct UK comparison is provided. On a monthly basis, the rate translates to one reported crime for every 213 residents, a figure that underscores the relatively low exposure to crime in this built-up area. When compared to the UK average, Yarm's overall rate remains 42% below, a gap that has likely widened since the previous month. This disparity is particularly evident in categories like anti-social behaviour (15% below UK average) and criminal damage and arson (83% below UK average). The population-scaled perspective—1 crime per 213 residents—suggests that most residents experience minimal direct exposure to crime, though the increase in vehicle crime may signal emerging local risks. These figures highlight Yarm's position as an area with consistently lower crime rates than national averages, though targeted vigilance in specific categories remains necessary.
