Fleetwood Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Fleetwood's crime profile in June 2025 reveals stark contrasts with the UK average, particularly in violent crime categories. The area's overall crime rate of 11.9 per 1,000 residents places it 46.9% above the national average of 8.1. This divergence is most pronounced in violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 36.2% of all reported crimes—4.3 per 1,000 residents, 50% higher than the UK average. Anti-social behaviour, at 3.7 per 1,000 (31.0% of total crimes), was 161% above the UK figure, suggesting localized pressures that may intersect with the area's seasonal dynamics. The start of summer in June, with extended daylight hours and the onset of tourism, likely contributes to heightened social interactions in public spaces, which could partly explain the elevated levels of anti-social behaviour and violent incidents. Property crimes, though lower in proportion (18.6% of total), remain a concern, with shoplifting and other thefts showing marginal increases relative to UK rates. The data underscores a combination of local demographics, seasonal rhythms, and the built environment, particularly in a coastal area where tourism and residential populations may overlap.

June 2025 saw dramatic shifts in specific crime categories, with shoplifting surging by 200% (6 to 18 incidents) and robbery increasing by 50% (2 to 3). This spike in retail-related offences may reflect the area's commercial activity during the summer season. Conversely, anti-social behaviour fell by 21.7% (from 115 to 90), potentially linked to targeted policing efforts or seasonal changes in public behaviour. The breakdown of crime types reveals a striking imbalance: violence and sexual offences dominated at 36.2% of total crimes, far outpacing the UK average for this category (2.9 per 1,000). This discrepancy may be influenced by Fleetwood's status as a built-up area within Wyre, where concentrated populations and limited spatial dispersion could amplify interpersonal conflicts. Bicycle theft plummeted by 75% (from 4 to 1), due to reduced demand during the warmer months or improved security measures in local bike storage facilities. These fluctuations highlight the need for nuanced analysis of how crime patterns evolve with both seasonal and situational factors.

Fleetwood's crime rate in June 2025 (11.9 per 1,000) marked a 10.2% decline from the previous month's rate of 13.3 per 1,000, suggesting a temporary moderation in criminal activity. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately 10 crimes per day over the 30-day period, translating to a monthly exposure of one reported crime for every 84 residents. This figure, while contextually relevant, must be considered alongside Fleetwood's population of 24,308—a smaller community compared to larger urban centres—where crime density can appear amplified. The reduction from May to June may reflect the start of summer, with some offenders potentially shifting focus to seasonal opportunities or being deterred by increased police visibility. However, the persistent elevation above the UK average (8.1 per 1,000) indicates systemic challenges. For residents, the 1-in-84 monthly exposure rate offers a concrete benchmark for understanding personal risk, though localized factors such as proximity to high-traffic areas or community cohesion may further influence individual experiences.
