Lymm Crime Rate April 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Lymm’s crime rate in April 2025 stood at 3.2 per 1,000 residents, placing the area 58.4% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. This figure translates to 41 total crimes for a population of 12,768 residents, a rate that underscores the area’s relatively low exposure to crime compared to national trends. The breakdown of crimes reveals a stark dominance of violent and sexual offences, which accounted for 39% of all incidents, followed by anti-social behaviour (19.5%) and drugs (19.5%). The high proportion of violent crimes may be linked to the area’s character as a built-up part of Warrington, where community interactions and local events could influence such patterns. Seasonal factors, including the Easter period and spring weather, likely contributed to increased outdoor activity, which may have played a role in the prevalence of violent incidents. However, the area’s overall safety profile remains strong, with multiple categories—such as public order, vehicle crime, and criminal damage—falling significantly below UK averages. This suggests that while certain localized issues may require attention, Lymm’s broader crime environment remains stable and below national benchmarks. The combination of low rates in most categories and a manageable number of incidents per capita reinforces the area’s position as a relatively secure place to live, even as specific spikes in drug-related crimes highlight areas for further monitoring.

April 2025 saw a dramatic 700% increase in drug-related crimes, rising from one to eight incidents. This jump, though significant, remains below the UK average of 0.3 per 1,000 (122% above in Lymm). Other theft also doubled from one to two cases, a 100% rise. Public order offences increased by 50%, from two to three, while criminal damage and arson fell by 50% to one incident. The violent crime category, accounting for 39% of all reported crimes, remains 50% below the UK average for violence and sexual offences (2.6 per 1,000). Anti-social behaviour, at 19.5% of total crimes, is also 55% below the UK average. These shifts highlight a mix of localized spikes and sustained below-average trends in other categories. Residents may find the drug-related increase particularly noteworthy, given its sharp rise and potential implications for community safety.

In April 2025, Lymm’s crime rate remained stable at 3.2 per 1,000 residents, matching the previous month’s figure. This consistency suggests no significant short-term fluctuations in criminal activity. On a daily basis, the area recorded roughly one crime per day, a figure that, while low, reflects the small population size of 12,768 residents. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 311 residents, a metric that provides context for residents assessing their personal risk. When scaled to the local population, this translates to a relatively low monthly exposure compared to larger urban areas. The stability in the overall rate contrasts with the sharp increase in drug-related crimes, which rose by 700% month-on-month. However, this spike does not appear to have shifted the broader trend of Lymm’s crime rate remaining well below the UK average. The daily and monthly figures reinforce the area’s position as a low-crime built-up area within Warrington, though localized spikes in specific categories warrant closer attention.
