Lymm Crime Rate February 2025 | Monthly Statistics

February 2025 marked a period of relatively low crime in Lymm, with an overall crime rate of 2.5 per 1,000 residents, significantly below the UK average of 6.7 per 1,000. This figure places Lymm 62.7% below the national benchmark, indicating a safer environment compared to the rest of the UK. The breakdown of crimes reveals that violence and sexual offences accounted for the largest share at 40.6% of all reported incidents, followed by public order offences at 9.4% and robbery at 9.4%. These figures suggest that while violent crimes remain a significant category, they are not the most prevalent type in the area. The seasonal context of February, a winter month with typically low outdoor activity and a pre-spring lull, may have contributed to the lower crime rates observed. However, the increase in public order offences and vehicle crime highlights a shift in the nature of criminal activity. This could be attributed to factors such as the timing of local events or changes in community behaviour during the winter months. The low overall crime rate in Lymm, combined with the specific trends in certain categories, illustrates a community that is generally secure but requires continued attention to emerging patterns, particularly in public order and vehicle-related incidents.

February 2025 saw a notable increase in public order offences, which rose by 200% compared to the previous month, reflecting a shift in the crime mix towards non-violent but disruptive incidents. Similarly, vehicle crime also increased by 200%, marking a significant uptick in this category. Robbery rates surged by 100%, jumping from zero to three reported incidents, a figure that is 150% above the UK average for this category. These increases contrast with the decline in violence and sexual offences, which dropped by 43.5% from the previous month's total of 23 to 13. This shift in crime mix highlights a change in the nature of incidents reported, with property-related crimes and public order issues becoming more prominent. For residents, the rise in public order offences is a particular concern, as these incidents often occur in public spaces and can impact the overall sense of community safety. The data also shows that other theft, shoplifting, and vehicle crime rates remain below the UK average, indicating that certain categories continue to be managed effectively within the area.

Lymm's crime rate for February 2025 stood at 2.5 per 1,000 residents, a 13.4% decrease from the previous month's rate of 2.9. This decline suggests a continued trend of lower criminal activity relative to the surrounding area. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately one crime per day over the 28-day period, a figure that reflects the low overall crime rate. When considering the population of 12,768 residents, the monthly exposure to crime was such that one reported crime occurred for roughly every 399 residents. This statistic provides a clear picture of the frequency of crime in relation to the local population, highlighting that residents are not frequently encountering crime on a daily basis. The comparison to the UK average is significant, as Lymm's rate is 62.7% below the national average of 6.7 per 1,000. This disparity underscores the relative safety of Lymm compared to the rest of the UK, particularly when considering the low rates of property and violent crimes reported in the area.
