Aylesbury Crime Rate September 2025 | Monthly Statistics

September 2025 marked a combination of rising and falling crime trends in Aylesbury, a built-up area within Buckinghamshire.

Shoplifting also saw a marked increase, with 82 incidents reported, reflecting the area’s retail density and the impact of freshers’ week on local businesses.

While violent crime and shoplifting rose, other categories like anti-social behaviour fell sharply, due to targeted policing or community initiatives.
