Overall Crime Rate Of 109.4 Crimes Per 1000 People
Best known for its stretches of amber coastline and sweeping views of the Irish Sea, Morecambe blends that stunning scenery with a beating heart of commerce and culture. However, undercutting that seaside popularity is a crime rate that rises above Lancashire’s average at 109.4 crimes per 1000 residents.
Within that, we find substantial figures in antisocial behaviour (1963 offences), violent crime (1821 offences), and criminal damage (537 offences), alongside a rate of shoplifting (296 offences) that’s more than 70% higher than the regional average.
