Tetbury Crime Rate March 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For every 1,000 residents in Tetbury during March 2025, there were 4.2 reported crimes — a rate 46.2% below the UK average of 7.8 per 1,000. This per-capita perspective underscores the area's relative safety, though the breakdown reveals a mix of crime types that reflect local dynamics. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 41.4% of all crimes (12 cases), followed by 'other crime' at 20.7% (6 cases) and anti-social behaviour at 13.8% (4 cases). These figures align with Tetbury's character as a small built-up area within the Cotswolds, where retail and tourism contribute to occasional spikes in specific offences. The seasonal transition to spring, with longer evenings and changes in foot traffic, may have influenced patterns — for instance, the 100% increase in shoplifting and vehicle crime could be linked to increased pedestrian and vehicular activity. However, the area's low population density and strong community ties likely contribute to its consistently low crime rates compared to larger urban centres. While 'other crime' remains 374% above the UK average, this category's ambiguity makes it difficult to draw direct conclusions. The data also shows anti-social behaviour at 52% below the UK average, suggesting effective local policing or social cohesion. Overall, Tetbury's crime profile illustrates how geographic and demographic factors shape risk levels, even within a small community.

March 2025 saw a 100.0% increase in vehicle crime, criminal damage, and shoplifting compared to February, with each of these categories rising from zero to one reported incident. This shift suggests a change in criminal activity patterns during the spring transition, though the small numbers mean these increases may reflect statistical noise rather than a sustained trend. Violence and sexual offences decreased by 7.7% (13 to 12 cases), a drop that could reflect seasonal factors such as reduced alcohol consumption or changes in social activity. 'other crime' — which includes non-specific offences — was 374% above the UK average (0.2 vs 0.9 per 1,000), a stark contrast to the area's overall safety profile. This category's elevated rate may indicate underreporting or unique local factors, though further data would be needed to confirm. The breakdown also shows anti-social behaviour at 0.6 per 1,000 (52% below the UK average), reinforcing Tetbury's generally orderly public spaces despite the spike in certain categories.

Tetbury's crime rate in March 2025 rose 45.0% from the previous month's 2.9 per 1,000 to 4.2 per 1,000.2% below the UK average. This increase translates to one reported crime per day in the built-up area, a figure that aligns with the area's low-density residential and commercial mix. Over the course of March, one crime occurred for every 237 residents — a monthly exposure rate that suggests routine safety for most households. While the overall rate is lower than the UK average, the rise from February highlights seasonal fluctuations. The transition to spring, with longer evenings and changing travel patterns, may partly explain the uptick. However, the area's small size and limited public transport options likely contribute to lower baseline crime levels compared to larger urban centres. This monthly exposure rate, when contextualised against Tetbury's population of 6,880, illustrates that most residents are unlikely to encounter crime in their daily lives.
