Wyre Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Wyre’s crime rate in November 2025 stood at 7.1 per 1,000 residents, placing it 2.7% below the UK average of 7.3. This slight edge reflects a combination of seasonal factors and local characteristics. The most prevalent crime type was violence and sexual offences (34.6% of total incidents), followed by anti-social behaviour (24.5%) and shoplifting (11.7%). These patterns align with Wyre’s role as a mixed urban-rural district, where retail hubs and community spaces drive both violent and property-related crime. The November spike in shoplifting, likely linked to Black Friday sales, contrasts with a 3% below-average rate for violent crimes, possibly due to increased police presence during peak shopping periods. Anti-social behaviour, however, remains a concern, with rates 60% above the UK average — a trend that may reflect Wyre’s dense population and the social pressures of winter months. The seasonal context of November, with its darker evenings and Bonfire Night events, further amplifies risks in public areas, though the overall rate remains stable compared to national benchmarks. This data illustrates how Wyre’s crime profile is shaped by both geographic factors and the rhythm of annual events, offering a nuanced picture for residents and policymakers.

November saw sharp increases in robbery (+200%), shoplifting (+117.8%), and theft from the person (+100%), all tied to seasonal factors like Black Friday and darker evenings. These surges contrast with declines in vehicle crime (-43.3%) and bicycle theft (-42.9%), likely reflecting reduced outdoor activity and targeted security measures. The area’s violent crime rate (2.5 per 1,000) remains 3% below the UK average, but anti-social behaviour (1.7 per 1,000) is 60% above the national figure, highlighting local challenges in managing public disorder. Residents may find the spike in shoplifting particularly relevant, as it signals a need for vigilance during high-traffic retail periods.

Wyre's crime rate in November 2025 rose by 7.3% compared to the previous month, moving from 6.6 to 7.1 per 1,000 residents. This upward shift, though modest, suggests a seasonal fluctuation aligned with November’s unique dynamics — darker evenings, Bonfire Night events, and the Black Friday shopping surge. On a daily basis, the area experienced an average of 28 crimes per day, a figure that contextualises the pace of incidents in a localised timeframe. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 141 residents, a metric that underscores the monthly exposure to crime in Wyre. This rate, while slightly below the UK average, reflects a population-scaled perspective where the density of incidents is tempered by the district’s size and distribution of activity. The comparison to the previous month highlights the volatility of crime patterns, particularly in light of the seasonal pressures that November brings to retail and community spaces.
