Weybridge Crime Rate October 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Weybridge's October 2025 crime rate of 6.4 per 1,000 residents places it 16.9% below the UK average of 7.7, reflecting a consistently low crime profile for the built-up area within Elmbridge. The most prevalent crime category was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 35.6% of all incidents, followed by anti-social behaviour (13.5%) and criminal damage and arson (12.5%). This mix suggests a balance between personal safety concerns and property-related issues, with the latter showing notable volatility. Seasonal factors in October—such as the transition to darker evenings and Halloween—may partly explain fluctuations in crime patterns. The area's low overall rate, despite the rise in burglary and criminal damage, aligns with its character as a suburban or commuter-focused region with limited industrial or nightlife activity. Anti-social behaviour remains significantly below the UK average, likely due to Weybridge's relatively quiet residential environment. However, the sharp increase in criminal damage and arson—exceeding the UK average by 43%—raises questions about potential triggers, such as increased vandalism during darker nights or seasonal events. While the area's crime rate remains stable, the month-on-month changes highlight the need for ongoing analysis of local trends.

The most dramatic month-on-month change occurred in burglary, which surged by 300% from 1 to 4 incidents. This spike, though still low in absolute terms, contrasts with a 37% drop in shoplifting, which fell from 3 to 7 cases despite being 37% below the UK average. Criminal damage and arson also saw a 160% increase, rising from 5 to 13 incidents, a figure that exceeds the UK average by 43%. These shifts highlight a growing focus on property-related offences, which now account for 43% of total crimes, compared to 35.6% for violent crimes. The volatility in these categories—particularly the sharp rise in criminal damage—suggests a potential realignment in local crime dynamics. Anti-social behaviour remained significantly below the UK average (29% lower), a trend consistent with Weybridge's generally low levels of disorder. Residents may find the 37% reduction in shoplifting encouraging, though the rise in burglary and vandalism warrants closer monitoring.

Weybridge's crime rate in October 2025 rose to 6.4 per 1,000 residents, marking a 28.3% increase from the previous month's rate of 5.0. This shift translates to roughly 3 crimes reported daily, a figure that, while modest, reflects a noticeable uptick in activity. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 157 residents, a statistic that contextualises the frequency of incidents within the local population. When compared to the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000, Weybridge remains 16.9% below, a margin that underscores its relatively low crime profile. However, the month-on-month surge suggests a temporary spike, possibly influenced by seasonal factors such as darker evenings and Halloween-related activity. The population context further illustrates that while the rate is low, the absolute number of crimes has grown, warranting attention to local patterns and potential contributing factors.
