Weybridge Crime Rate December 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Weybridge's December 2025 crime profile reveals a clear dominance of property-related offences over violent crimes, a pattern that contrasts with the UK's broader trend where violence often leads. At a rate of 3.7 per 1,000 residents, the area's crime rate is 47.1% below the UK average of 7.0, underscoring its relatively low-risk environment. Violence and sexual offences, though accounting for 30% of total crimes, remain 57% below the UK average for this category, a statistic consistent with Weybridge's character as a commuter town with limited nightlife and a focus on residential stability. Shoplifting emerged as the second-most common crime, with 12 incidents reported—a 200% increase from November, likely tied to the Christmas shopping peak and the presence of retail hubs in the area. This surge, however, was offset by a sharp decline in public order offences, which fell by 80% to two incidents, possibly reflecting the subdued nature of the holiday season. The overall crime picture illustrates a balance between seasonal pressures and the area's inherent low crime profile, with property crimes driven by commercial activity and violent crimes remaining well below national averages. This dynamic may also be influenced by Weybridge's proximity to London, where higher crime rates are more common, yet its own socio-economic stability and lower population density contribute to a distinct, safer environment.

December 2025 saw a stark shift in crime dynamics, with property crimes (29) outpacing violent crimes (18) for the first time this year. This imbalance may reflect seasonal factors, as Christmas shopping and holiday-related activity could have driven retail-related offences. Shoplifting alone increased by 200% compared to November, rising from four to twelve incidents—a jump that positions it as the second-most common crime type, though still 23% above the UK average for this category. Conversely, public order offences plummeted by 80%, from ten to two, linked to the quieter holiday period and reduced nightlife activity. Violent crimes, while 57% below the UK average, accounted for 30% of all reported incidents, a proportion that contrasts with the national trend where violence and sexual offences typically dominate. This divergence highlights Weybridge's unique crime profile, where property-related issues, rather than violence, currently define the local landscape.

Weybridge's December 2025 crime rate of 3.7 per 1,000 residents marks a 44.5% decline from the previous month's 6.6 per 1,000, reflecting a sustained trend of lower crime levels. This reduction aligns with the area's historically low crime profile compared to the UK average of 7.0 per 1,000. On a daily basis, the local figure of two crimes per day underscores the rarity of incidents in Weybridge, a built-up area within Elmbridge. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 273 residents, a statistic that contextualises the scale of risk for local households. When viewed against the UK's broader context, Weybridge's crime rate is 47.1% below the national average, a gap that suggests the area's socio-economic and geographical characteristics—such as its proximity to London and lower population density—play a role in mitigating crime. These figures, while localised, offer a tangible sense of security for residents, particularly when contrasted with the UK's higher overall rates.
