Tetbury Crime Rate October 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Violence and sexual offences dominate Tetbury's crime profile in October 2025, accounting for nearly half of all reported incidents. With a crime rate of 4.5 per 1,000, the area remains 41.6% below the UK average, a position that highlights its comparative safety. The dominance of violent crimes may be influenced by seasonal factors, as October marks the return of darker evenings and the approach of Halloween, which could contribute to increased incidents in public spaces. Anti-social behaviour and criminal damage and arson follow as the next most common categories, each significantly below UK averages. The built-up nature of Tetbury, a historic town within the Cotswold, may explain the focus on violent and property-related crimes, as these are more likely to occur in densely populated areas. However, the relatively low levels of property crime—only 6 incidents compared to 15 violent crimes—suggest that local policing and community initiatives are likely effective in deterring theft and burglary. The seasonal context of October, with its shorter daylight hours and seasonal events, may also play a role in shaping crime patterns, as darker evenings could contribute to an increase in violent incidents. While the overall crime rate has risen slightly from the previous month, the area's position well below the UK average indicates that Tetbury continues to maintain a relatively safe environment for its residents.

October 2025 saw a 100% increase in drug-related crimes, rising from 0 to 2 incidents. Public order offences also doubled, with one incident reported, and other theft cases increased by 100% from 1 to 2. These spikes, though small in absolute terms, indicate shifting patterns in local crime dynamics. Violent crimes remain the dominant category, contributing 48.4% of total incidents, a rate 17% below the UK average for this category. Anti-social behaviour, at 0.9 per 1,000, is 29% below the UK average, suggesting effective community engagement or policing in this area. The increase in drug-related crimes may reflect seasonal factors, such as Halloween-related activity. Residents should note that while violent crime remains the primary concern, the rise in drug-related incidents warrants attention from local authorities.

Tetbury's crime rate in October 2025 rose 40.9% from the previous month's 3.2 per 1,000 to 4.5 per 1,000. This increase, though notable, remains 41.6% below the UK average. Daily crime statistics show an average of one reported crime per day in Tetbury, a figure that translates to a monthly exposure of one crime for every 222 residents. This ratio underscores the relatively low frequency of crime in the area, even as rates have increased slightly. Considering Tetbury's population of 6,880, the 31 reported crimes represent a manageable level of activity for a built-up area within the Cotswold. The population-scaled perspective reveals that residents face a significantly lower risk of victimisation compared to the UK average, with violent crimes making up nearly half of all incidents. This suggests that while local crime trends are shifting, the overall safety profile of Tetbury remains distinct from national patterns.
