Tarleton and Hesketh Bank Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

In November 2025, Tarleton and Hesketh Bank recorded 23 crimes across its population of 8,952 residents, translating to a crime rate of 2.6 per 1,000 — 64.4% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. This low rate reflects a combination of factors, including the area’s character as a built-up rural community with limited urban infrastructure, which may reduce opportunities for certain types of crime. The breakdown shows that violence and sexual offences (7 incidents, 30.4% of total) and anti-social behaviour (7 incidents, 30.4%) are the most common categories, though both are significantly below the UK average. Violence and sexual offences, for instance, are 69% below the national rate of 2.6 per 1,000. The seasonal context of November — marked by Bonfire Night, Black Friday shopping, and shorter evenings — may have influenced patterns, particularly the rise in criminal damage and arson (+150% from 2 to 5 incidents). This aligns with the timing of Bonfire Night, which could have temporarily increased risks of fire-related offences. Conversely, the decline in anti-social behaviour (53.3%) might be linked to reduced public gatherings during colder weather. The area’s low property crime rate (8 incidents, 34.8% of total) further underscores its distinction from urban centres, where property crimes often dominate. With only 1 burglary and 1 vehicle crime reported, the area’s focus on non-property crimes suggests a different dynamic, shaped by its smaller, closely-knit community and limited commercial activity compared to larger towns. The overall crime rate, while low, remains consistent with the area’s historical profile as a place with minimal exposure to high-frequency crime, though localized spikes in specific categories highlight the need for targeted awareness.

November 2025 saw a sharp increase in criminal damage and arson, rising from 2 to 5 incidents (+150%) — potentially tied to Bonfire Night events. This contrasts with an 83.3% drop in other theft, which fell from 6 to 1, suggesting a possible shift in criminal focus. Violence and sexual offences also declined by 30%, aligning with the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000 (69% below the national rate). Meanwhile, anti-social behaviour fell by 53.3%, from 15 to 7, though it remains 25% below the UK average of 1.1 per 1,000. The area’s burglary and vehicle crime rates are both significantly lower than the UK average, with vehicle crime at 0.1 per 1,000 (75% below the UK’s 0.4). A resident might find the daily crime context useful: with one crime reported every 30 days, the area’s low frequency offers reassurance, even as seasonal events occasionally drive spikes in specific crime types.

In November 2025, Tarleton and Hesketh Bank recorded 23 crimes across its population of 8,952 residents, translating to a crime rate of 2.6 per 1,000 — a 39.4% decline from the previous month’s rate of 4.2 per 1,000. This drop places the area significantly below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000, with a 64.4% gap. On a daily basis, the area experienced roughly one reported crime every 30 days, equivalent to one crime for every 389 residents over the course of the month. While this monthly exposure is low compared to national trends, the breakdown reveals some shifts: criminal damage and arson rose sharply (+150%) from 2 to 5 incidents, possibly linked to Bonfire Night activities. This contrasts with a 53.3% decline in anti-social behaviour, which may reflect seasonal changes in community activity. The population-scaled perspective underscores that even with a small number of crimes, the area’s low rate highlights a consistent trend of lower-than-average crime exposure, though localized spikes in specific categories warrant attention.
