Carbis Bay Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Carbis Bay’s crime profile in June 2025 reveals a marked imbalance between violent and property crimes, with the former accounting for 65.2% of all incidents. At 4.2 per 1,000 residents, the area’s crime rate remains 48.1% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000, a statistic that underscores the effectiveness of local policing or community factors in keeping crime low. The dominance of violence and sexual offences (15 incidents) over property crimes (5) suggests a shift in criminal activity that may be linked to seasonal factors. As June marks the beginning of the summer season, the influx of tourists and the extended daylight hours could influence patterns of criminal behaviour. The UK average for violence and sexual offences is 2.9 per 1,000, meaning Carbis Bay’s rate of 2.8 per 1,000 is 2% below the national benchmark, a narrow margin that may indicate the area’s vulnerability to spikes in this category. Meanwhile, criminal damage and arson rose by 50% compared to May, reflecting increased vandalism linked to the start of the tourist season. Anti-social behaviour, however, fell sharply by 50%, a decline that could be attributed to the area’s relatively small population and the absence of major events that typically drive such incidents. The low overall crime rate, combined with the seasonal context, illustrates an area where crime remains largely contained, though the imbalance between violent and property crimes raises questions about the underlying factors shaping this dynamic. The data may also highlight the need for targeted interventions in violent crime prevention, particularly as summer progresses and local activity increases.

June 2025 saw a 36.4% increase in violence and sexual offences, rising from 11 to 15 incidents. This surge, coupled with a 50% rise in criminal damage and arson (from 2 to 3), suggests a shift in crime dynamics. Violent crimes constituted 65.2% of total incidents, far exceeding property crimes (8.7%) and indicating a dominance of personal safety concerns. Anti-social behaviour, however, fell by 50% (from 4 to 2), a decrease that contrasts with the overall upward trend. Violence and sexual offences in Carbis Bay remained 2% below the UK average (2.8 vs 2.9 per 1,000), a narrow margin that highlights the area’s relative success in mitigating this category despite the month-on-month increase. These figures may reflect the start of summer, when tourism begins to influence local crime patterns.

Carbis Bay’s crime rate in June 2025 rose by 4.5% compared to May’s 4.0 per 1,000, marking a slight upward trend. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 237 residents, a figure that contextualises the monthly exposure for local residents. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately one crime per day, a locally specific metric that reflects the sparse nature of reported incidents in this built-up area of Cornwall. When compared to the UK average, Carbis Bay’s crime rate remains 48.1% below the national figure of 8.1 per 1,000, underscoring the area’s relative safety. This contrast becomes more pronounced when considering the population-scaled perspective: for every 1,000 residents in Carbis Bay, only 4.2 crimes were reported, compared to 8.1 in the UK as a whole. This disparity suggests a combination of local factors, such as the area’s coastal geography and seasonal tourism patterns, which may contribute to lower crime rates despite the slight month-on-month increase.
