Overall Crime Rate Of 145.5 Crimes Per 1000 People
Synonymous with the fishing industry and seafood, Grimsby’s place as one of not only Yorkshire’s but the UK’s most prominent port towns has long been secured. It’s with that prominence, though, that a crime starts to become more prevalent, and with a rate of 145.5 crimes per 1000 residents, Grimsby has certainly experienced that.
There’s pressing issues with violent crime (5162 incidents), criminal damage (1855 incidents), and antisocial behaviour (1756 incidents), but the town’s rates of robbery (136 incidents) and bicycle theft (315 incidents) are equally worrying, with both being more than double the region’s average.
