CRIME IN HULL: 2024 VS 2025
Crime in Hull showed an overall reduction across the selected recorded crime categories we analysed between 2024 and 2025.
The purpose of this crime snapshot is to increase awareness of selected recorded crime trends in Hull and provide a simple year-on-year comparison using Police.uk data.
It is not intended to provide a complete picture of all crime in the area. Instead, it focuses on four categories that may be particularly relevant to residents, property owners and businesses: burglary, other theft, vehicle crime, and criminal damage and arson.
The figures include all recorded offences within these categories across Hull. They are not limited to residential or commercial properties.
Crime in Hull: key figures
| Crime category | 2024 | 2025 | Numerical change | Change |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Burglary | 2,070 | 1,794 | -276 | -13.3% |
| Other theft | 2,452 | 2,366 | -86 | -3.5% |
| Vehicle crime | 1,230 | 1,254 | +24 | +2.0% |
| Criminal damage and arson | 3,304 | 3,062 | -242 | -7.3% |
| Selected categories total | 9,056 | 8,476 | -580 | -6.4% |
Across the four selected crime categories, the overall number of recorded offences decreased.
There were 9,056 recorded offences in 2024 compared with 8,476 in 2025.
That represents 580 fewer recorded offences, an overall reduction of approximately 6.4%.
Three of the four selected categories recorded fewer offences in 2025, while vehicle crime increased slightly.
What does that look like across the year?
In 2024, the selected categories accounted for:
9,056 recorded offences across the year
Approximately 755 per month
Approximately 24.7 per day
In 2025, there were:
8,476 recorded offences across the year
Approximately 706 per month
Approximately 23.2 per day
These monthly and daily figures are averages across the full year. They do not mean offences occurred evenly from one day or month to another.
What increased?
Vehicle crime was the only selected category to record an increase.
There were 1,230 recorded vehicle crime offences in 2024 compared with 1,254 in 2025.
That represents 24 additional offences, an increase of approximately 2.0%.
The increase was relatively small compared with the reductions seen in the other selected categories.
What decreased?
The largest percentage reduction was recorded in burglary.
There were 2,070 recorded burglaries in 2024 compared with 1,794 in 2025.
That represents 276 fewer offences, a reduction of 13.3%.
Criminal damage and arson also fell.
There were 3,304 recorded offences in 2024 compared with 3,062 in 2025, representing 242 fewer offences, or a reduction of 7.3%.
Other theft decreased from 2,452 offences in 2024 to 2,366 in 2025.
That represents 86 fewer recorded offences, a reduction of 3.5%.
Police.uk combines criminal damage and arson within one category in the data used for this snapshot. This means separate totals for vandalism, criminal damage and arson cannot be calculated from these figures.
The overall picture is therefore one of lower recorded totals across most of the selected categories in 2025, while vehicle crime increased slightly.
What could this mean for residents and businesses?
The figures do not show whether individual offences involved private homes, shops, offices, warehouses, construction sites or other types of premises.
They can, however, provide useful local context.
Most of the selected categories decreased during 2025, which should be recognised rather than presenting the figures as evidence that crime increased across Hull.
At the same time, 1,794 burglaries, 1,254 vehicle crime offences and 3,062 criminal damage and arson offences were still recorded across Hull during the year.
For businesses responsible for premises, vehicles or physical assets, figures such as these may still be worth considering when reviewing access arrangements, out-of-hours security and the protection of exposed property.
There may also be relevance for some residential properties.
Owners of larger homes, private estates or rural properties may have more than the main building to consider, including entrances, driveways, vehicles, garages, outbuildings and wider grounds.
The statistics do not tell us how many offences affected these types of properties and should not be interpreted as evidence that larger homes or estates are specifically being targeted.
For properties where an additional on-site security presence is being considered, Colosseum K9 also provides private residential security.
About the crime in Hull data
This snapshot is based on Police.uk street-level recorded crime data covering January to December 2024 and January to December 2025.
The same crime categories and geographic approach have been used for both years to provide a like-for-like comparison.
Police.uk publishes crime locations in an anonymised form, so individual map points should not be treated as exact incident addresses.
The figures should therefore be viewed as a local crime snapshot rather than a record of offences affecting specific homes, businesses or individual properties.
