Tetbury Crime Rate April 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For a population of 6,880, 31 reported crimes in April 2025 equate to one crime for every 222 residents over the month. This places Tetbury’s crime rate at 4.5 per 1,000, significantly below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000 (41.6% lower). The most frequent crimes were violence and sexual offences (11 incidents, 35.5% of total), followed by anti-social behaviour (7 cases, 22.6%) and public order offences (3 cases, 9.7%). This pattern aligns with seasonal dynamics typical of a Cotswold-built-up area: spring weather and Easter-related activity likely contributed to increased public interactions, which may partly explain the prevalence of violent and disorderly incidents. While property crimes (4 total) were relatively low, the breakdown highlights a strikingly low rate of vehicle crime (0.3 per 1,000) and criminal damage (0.2 per 1,000), both well below UK averages. These figures suggest that Tetbury’s small, close-knit community and limited commercial density may contribute to its comparatively safe environment, though the rise in public order offences (up 100% from zero to three) indicates areas for continued monitoring.

April 2025 saw notable shifts in crime patterns compared to March. Public order offences increased by 100% (from zero to three), likely reflecting heightened outdoor activity during the Easter period. Vehicle crime also rose by 100% (from one to two), possibly linked to seasonal travel and increased car usage. Conversely, 'other crime' fell by 50% (from six to three), though this category remains 135% above the UK average. Violent crimes decreased slightly by 8.3% (from 12 to 11), suggesting some moderation in tensions despite the overall seasonal uptick. The stark disparity between Tetbury’s violent crime rate (1.6 per 1,000) and the UK average (2.6 per 1,000) underscores the area’s relative safety, though the 329% above UK average rate for possession of weapons (2 cases) raises questions about localized factors. Residents may find the breakdown of violence and sexual offences (35.5% of total) particularly relevant, as this category remains a key focus for community safety initiatives.

The crime rate in April 2025 (4.5 per 1,000) marked a 6.9% increase from March’s 4.2 per 1,000, though it remains well below the UK average. On a daily basis, Tetbury experienced approximately one crime per day in April—a figure that, while low, reflects the area’s small population scale. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 222 residents, highlighting the relatively sparse nature of incidents in this built-up Cotswold area. When contextualized against the UK’s average of 7.7 per 1,000, Tetbury’s performance illustrates the impact of localized factors such as community cohesion and limited commercial density. The population-scaled perspective also reveals that even modest increases in crime can be significant in such a small area: for instance, the 100% rise in public order offences from zero to three represents a substantial shift in local dynamics. These figures suggest that while Tetbury’s overall safety profile remains strong, targeted efforts to address specific categories like weapons possession (329% above UK average) could further enhance its already low crime environment.
