Cleveleys Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

In June 2025, Cleveleys reported a crime rate of 7.4 per 1,000 residents, placing it 8.6% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. This suggests that, on a per-capita basis, residents of Cleveleys face a slightly lower risk of encountering crime compared to the national average. The most prevalent crime types were violence and sexual offences (39.1% of total crimes), followed by anti-social behaviour (23.9%) and shoplifting (14.1%). These figures align with the characteristics of a coastal town, where public spaces and retail areas may attract both residents and visitors, contributing to higher rates of anti-social behaviour and shoplifting. The seasonal context of June, with longer days and the start of the tourist season, may have influenced these patterns. For example, increased foot traffic in high streets could have driven shoplifting incidents, while the presence of more people in public spaces may have contributed to a rise in anti-social behaviour. However, the overall crime rate remains below the UK average, indicating that Cleveleys, despite its proximity to popular tourist destinations, maintains a relatively safe environment for its residents. The lower rate may also reflect the town’s smaller size and lower population density compared to larger urban centres, which can reduce opportunities for certain types of crime. This per-capita perspective is critical for understanding how crime rates translate into everyday risk, as it accounts for both the number of incidents and the population size.

June 2025 saw a 100.0% increase in vehicle crime, rising from zero to five incidents. This spike may be linked to the start of summer, when more residents and visitors take to the roads, potentially increasing opportunities for theft. Shoplifting also rose sharply by 62.5%, from eight to thirteen cases, suggesting possible links to increased foot traffic in retail areas as tourism begins. Conversely, other theft and public order offences both fell significantly, by 80.0% and 77.8% respectively, indicating a shift in crime patterns. Anti-social behaviour remained 27% above the UK average, highlighting a persistent local challenge. Vehicle crime, though up, remained only 8% above the UK average, suggesting that while the increase is notable, it is not disproportionate to the national trend.

Cleveleys' crime rate in June 2025 fell to 7.4 per 1,000 residents, marking a 24.0% drop from the previous month's 9.7 per 1,000. This decline positions the area as safer compared to its recent performance. On a daily basis, the town experienced roughly three crimes per day, a figure that translates to one reported crime for every 135 residents over the course of the month. When contextualised against the local population of 12,445, this means that a resident had a 1-in-135 chance of being directly affected by a crime in June. Such a monthly exposure rate is lower than the UK average, which typically sees higher daily crime counts in comparable built-up areas. The reduction in crime may partly reflect seasonal factors, as June marks the start of summer and the usual increase in tourism could have shifted focus towards leisure activities, reducing opportunities for certain types of crime.
