Ewell Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Ewell's crime rate in June 2025 stood at 5.5 per 1,000 residents, placing it 32.1% below the UK average of 8.1. This marked contrast with national trends highlights the area's unique characteristics. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 25.1% of all crimes, a figure 51% below the UK average. Anti-social behaviour followed at 20.0%, also significantly lower than the UK's 1.4 per 1,000. However, vehicle crime emerged as a notable outlier, with 29 incidents reported—143% above the UK average of 0.4 per 1,000. This sharp divergence from national patterns may reflect local factors such as increased traffic during the summer months or specific vulnerabilities in vehicle security. Public order offences also rose 90.9% compared to May, though they remained 19% above the UK average. The seasonal context of June, with longer daylight hours and the start of tourism in nearby areas, likely contributed to shifts in crime patterns. While violent crime rates remained low, the spike in vehicle crime suggests targeted attention may be needed for this category. The area's built-up nature within Epsom and Ewell may explain its lower overall crime rate compared to more rural or densely populated regions, though the vehicle crime anomaly warrants further analysis of local transportation infrastructure and parking practices.

June 2025 saw a dramatic 141.7% increase in vehicle crime, rising from 12 to 29 incidents. This surge, which placed vehicle crime 143% above the UK average, may be linked to the summer season and increased mobility. Robbery rates also doubled, with two incidents reported compared to one in May, though this remains well below the UK average. Conversely, possession of weapons fell by 80.0%, dropping from five to one incident—a stark contrast to the 100% UK average. The reduction in burglary, down 71.4% to two incidents, could reflect improved home security measures or seasonal factors such as fewer residents being away on holiday. The crime mix shifted with property crimes (65) now outnumbering violent crimes (44), a reversal from previous months. Violence and sexual offences, however, remained 51% below the UK average, suggesting effective community policing or lower risk factors in this area. For residents, the 143% above UK average for vehicle crime is a clear indicator to review car security measures, particularly in high-traffic zones. This anomaly underscores the need for targeted interventions that address the specific drivers of vehicle-related crime in Ewell.

Ewell's crime rate in June 2025 rose 6.0% from the previous month's 5.1 per 1,000, though it remains significantly below the UK average. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately six crimes per day, a figure that translates to one reported crime for every 183 residents over the course of the month. This monthly exposure rate, while relatively low, highlights the importance of maintaining vigilance, particularly given the sharp increase in vehicle crime. The previous month's rate of 5.1 per 1,000 indicates a modest upward trend, which may be attributed to seasonal factors such as increased foot traffic in retail areas or events during the early summer period. When scaled to Ewell's population of 32,087, the crime statistics reveal a manageable level of risk for residents, with most categories well below national benchmarks. However, the 143% above UK average for vehicle crime introduces a localised concern that requires specific attention. This comparison to the previous month also underscores the need for ongoing monitoring of trends, as even small shifts in crime rates can have meaningful implications for community safety. The balance between overall low rates and specific anomalies suggests a combination of factors that may benefit from targeted local analysis.
