Ealing Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For every 100 residents in Ealing, one crime was reported in June 2025 — a rate of 10.0 per 1,000, placing the borough 23.5% above the UK average of 8.1. This translates to a daily risk of roughly 129 crimes across the district, with violence and sexual offences, anti-social behaviour, and vehicle crime accounting for 58.9% of all reported incidents. The summer season likely amplifies activity in public spaces, with longer daylight hours potentially increasing opportunities for anti-social behaviour and vehicle crime in areas with high foot traffic. While violence and sexual offences remain the most common category (26.1% of total crimes), their rate (2.6 per 1,000) is 9% below the UK average, suggesting localised factors may temper this category compared to national trends. Anti-social behaviour, however, is starkly elevated — 83% above the UK average — a figure that may reflect the density of Ealing’s urban environment and the challenges of managing community interactions in shared spaces. Vehicle crime (1.0 per 1,000) is also high, 170% above the UK average, linked to the borough’s mix of residential and commercial zones with parked vehicles vulnerable to opportunistic theft.

June 2025 saw a 78.6% surge in possession of weapons (from 14 to 25 incidents), a sharp increase that may reflect heightened tensions in public spaces during the summer months. Shoplifting rose by 30.9% (181 to 237 cases), possibly driven by seasonal shopping patterns or increased retail activity in Ealing’s high streets. Conversely, burglary fell by 31.3% (from 128 to 88 incidents), a decline that could be attributed to improved security measures or reduced foot traffic in residential areas during the early summer. Drug-related crimes also increased by 28.4% (176 to 226 cases), a trend that may be connected to the influx of visitors during the start of the tourist season. Ealing’s vehicle crime rate (1.0 per 1,000) remains 170% above the UK average, a figure that residents may find particularly concerning given the borough’s reliance on parking in both commercial and residential zones. For context, the daily crime count of 129 incidents offers a tangible sense of the scale of activity — roughly equivalent to one crime every 20 minutes across the borough.

Ealing’s crime rate in June 2025 (10.0 per 1,000) marked a 7.3% increase from the previous month’s rate of 9.3, a shift that may be influenced by the transition into summer and the associated changes in public behaviour. Over the course of the month, 3,864 crimes were recorded, translating to 129 incidents per day — a figure that, while local to Ealing, highlights the intensity of criminal activity relative to the borough’s population of 385,985. This means that, on average, one resident in every 100 experienced a reported crime during June, a monthly exposure rate that underscores the need for continued vigilance. When compared to the UK average, Ealing’s higher-than-national crime rate is most pronounced in anti-social behaviour and vehicle crime, both of which are significantly elevated in the area. However, the borough’s rate for violence and sexual offences (2.6 per 1,000) is slightly below the UK average (2.9 per 1,000), a nuance that may reflect the effectiveness of local policing strategies or the unique demographic composition of Ealing’s population.
