Weybridge Crime Rate July 2025 | Monthly Statistics

July 2025 saw Weybridge maintain a crime rate significantly below the UK average, with 6.3 crimes per 1,000 residents compared to the national figure of 8.6. This places the area 26.7% below the UK benchmark, a position consistent with its character as a suburban commuter town with limited industrial activity and strong community policing. The most prevalent crime category was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 40.8% of total incidents (42 cases), followed by anti-social behaviour (20.4%) and public order offences (12.6%). These patterns align with July’s seasonal context: school holidays, summer festivals, and increased tourism likely contributing to heightened social interactions in public spaces. While violence rates remain below the UK average (2.6 vs 3.0 per 1,000), public order offences exceeded the UK average by 25%, potentially reflecting the challenges of managing large gatherings in the area’s historic town centre. The overall crime rate, though higher than June’s 5.3 per 1,000, remains well within the range typical for a low-crime commuter belt suburb. This suggests that while local conditions may temporarily elevate certain categories, Weybridge’s broader crime profile remains stable and below national trends.

July 2025 marked a 19.8% increase in Weybridge’s overall crime rate compared to June, driven by sharp rises in specific categories. Other theft and shoplifting both doubled from 2 to 4 incidents, a trend likely linked to the summer tourist season and increased retail activity. Vehicle crime also surged by 75% (4 to 7 cases), possibly due to more visitors parking in residential areas during festivals. Conversely, other crime fell by 80% (5 to 1), and possession of weapons dropped by two-thirds (3 to 1), potentially reflecting the success of local policing initiatives. Public order offences rose 25% above the UK average (0.8 vs 0.6 per 1,000), a contrast to the area’s generally low levels of disorder. This divergence highlights the combination of seasonal events and local crime dynamics. While the increase in vehicle crime may concern residents, the overall crime rate remains 26.7% below the UK average, underscoring Weybridge’s continued status as a relatively safe area despite temporary fluctuations.

Weybridge’s July crime rate of 6.3 per 1,000 represents a 19.8% increase from June’s 5.3 per 1,000.7% below the UK average. This month saw 3 crimes reported daily on average, a figure that, while modest, reflects the impact of seasonal factors. Over the course of July, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 159 residents, a monthly exposure rate that is lower than the UK average (which would be approximately 1 in 115 residents for the same period). With a population of 16,373, Weybridge’s crime statistics demonstrate the effectiveness of targeted policing in a commuter town context. The daily crime count, while stable, underscores the need for continued vigilance during peak tourist periods. When compared to the UK average, Weybridge’s lower crime rates are consistent with its suburban character and limited exposure to high-risk environments typically associated with major urban centres. This comparative advantage is particularly evident in categories like burglary and drug-related offences, which are 63% and 64% below the UK average respectively.
