Mildenhall Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Mildenhall’s crime rate in November 2025 stood at 6.4 per 1,000 residents, 12.3% below the UK average of 7.3. This performance, while commendable, masks a combination of trends within the local crime profile. The most striking outlier is vehicle crime, which reached 6 incidents—75% above the UK average of 0.4 per 1,000. This anomaly, though unexplained by the available data, could reflect local factors such as the presence of commercial parking facilities or the concentration of vehicles in residential areas during colder months. Violence and sexual offences, however, represented the largest share of crime (26.3%), with 15 incidents reported. This figure, while lower than the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000, still accounts for nearly a third of all crimes in the area. The seasonal context of November—marked by Bonfire Night, Black Friday shopping, and darker evenings—likely influenced these patterns. For instance, the 42.9% decline in shoplifting compared to October may reflect reduced foot traffic after the holiday sales, while the 400% increase in public order offences could be linked to community events or the challenges of managing public spaces in reduced daylight. These trends underscore the need for targeted local strategies, particularly in addressing the elevated vehicle crime rate, while also leveraging the positive momentum in reducing violent incidents.

November 2025 saw a stark contrast in crime trends, with vehicle crime surging by 100% compared to October, reaching six incidents—75% above the UK average. This spike, while unexplained by available data, may relate to seasonal factors such as increased car usage during darker evenings or logistical changes in local transport patterns. Meanwhile, violence and sexual offences dropped by 58.3%, from 36 to 15 incidents, a decline that mirrors the broader reduction in violent crime nationally during the autumn months. Shoplifting also fell by 42.9%, from seven to four incidents, potentially linked to the post-Black Friday retail lull. Public order offences increased by 400%—from one to five incidents—suggesting a sharp uptick in disturbances that could be tied to Bonfire Night events or other community gatherings. For residents, the most immediately relevant statistic is the 75% excess in vehicle crime compared to the UK average, a figure that underscores a unique local challenge in this category.

Mildenhall's crime rate in November 2025 fell by 9.5% compared to the previous month, dropping from 7.1 to 6.4 per 1,000 residents. This decline aligns with broader seasonal patterns in the area, where reduced daylight hours and the post-Black Friday shopping lull may have tempered certain types of activity. On a daily basis, the local area recorded approximately 2 crimes per day in November, a figure that, while modest, reflects the built-up nature of Mildenhall’s urban core. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 157 residents, a monthly exposure rate that places the area well below the national average for similar-sized communities. This statistic, when contextualised against the local population of 8,940, suggests that while crime remains a concern, its frequency is not high compared to the UK average. The shift from October to November also highlights a seasonal trend: as commercial activity wanes after the holiday season, property-related crimes often decrease, while public order issues may rise in response to colder weather and altered social rhythms.
