Barugh Green and Redbrook Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

November 2025 marked a notable improvement in Barugh Green and Redbrook's crime profile, with the overall crime rate standing at 5.1 per 1,000 residents—30.1% below the UK average. This figure reflects a combination of proactive local measures and seasonal factors, such as the timing of Bonfire Night and the early shopping season, which may have influenced patterns of activity. The most prevalent crime types were violence and sexual offences (22.9% of total), followed by burglary (20.0%) and anti-social behaviour (14.3%). Violence and sexual offences in the area remained 53% below the UK average, a consistent trend that may be linked to the area's relatively low population density and strong community policing efforts. However, the spike in burglary and vehicle crime highlights vulnerabilities that require attention. The seasonal context of November—marked by darker evenings and the transition to winter—may have contributed to an increase in property-related offences, particularly as visibility and foot traffic in public spaces decreased. Anti-social behaviour, which accounted for 14.3% of crimes, was 34% below the UK average, suggesting that local initiatives targeting nuisance behaviour have had a measurable impact. The overall decline in crime, despite the rise in certain categories, indicates that the area's efforts to address key issues are yielding results, though continued vigilance is necessary to sustain this progress.

The most significant decrease in November 2025 was a 70% drop in shoplifting, with reported cases falling from 10 to 3. This decline aligns with the seasonal context of Black Friday, which may have seen increased police presence or retail security measures. Public order offences also fell by 60%, from 5 to 2, potentially reflecting reduced activity during the early evening due to colder weather. However, vehicle crime saw a sharp 300% increase, rising from 1 to 4, which may be linked to increased car thefts during the darker November evenings. Burglary rates climbed by 133%, from 3 to 7, a figure that is 233% above the UK average. This spike suggests a need for targeted security initiatives in residential areas. Violence and sexual offences remained below the UK average by 53%, with 8 cases recorded at a rate of 1.2 per 1,000. This contrast highlights the area's relative success in managing violent crime despite the overall rise in property-related offences.

Barugh Green and Redbrook's crime rate in November 2025 stood at 5.1 per 1,000 residents, a 10.3% decrease from the previous month's rate of 5.7 per 1,000. This decline suggests a continuing trend of reduced crime activity, though the monthly exposure remains a local concern: over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 194 residents. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately one crime per day, a figure that, while low, underscores the need for vigilance during peak times. The population-scaled perspective shows that the area's crime rate is significantly lower than the UK average, but the distribution of specific crime types reveals both strengths and vulnerabilities. For instance, burglary rates in the area are 233% above the UK average, indicating a particular challenge in this category that may require targeted interventions. These figures, when contextualised against the local population of 6,804, highlight the importance of community-focused policing strategies and local awareness campaigns to maintain and build upon this downward trend.
