Epsom and Ewell Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

In June 2025, Epsom and Ewell recorded a crime rate of 7.8 per 1,000 residents, placing it 3.7% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. This figure, while relatively low compared to national benchmarks, masks a nuanced picture shaped by seasonal and local dynamics. The most common crimes were violence and sexual offences (215 cases, 33.3% of total), followed by anti-social behaviour (129 cases, 20.0%) and vehicle crime (69 cases, 10.7%). The near-parity between violent (215) and property crimes (213) challenges the usual dominance of one category, suggesting a shift in criminal activity that may reflect the start of summer. The longer days and increased tourism in June could contribute to higher incidents of violence, particularly in public spaces, while the rise in vehicle crime may correlate with more traffic or unsecured parking areas near retail centres. Anti-social behaviour's 13% above UK average rate (1.6 vs 1.4 per 1,000) hints at community tensions or localized pressures, though the absence of a significant rise in burglary (down 54.5% from 22 to 10) indicates that targeted property crime may not be as prevalent. The low rates of burglary and theft from the person—both significantly below UK averages—suggest that residential areas may be relatively secure, due to the district's suburban character and lower population density. However, the sharp increase in vehicle crime, which is 116% above the UK average, raises questions about local infrastructure or enforcement gaps. This data illustrates a community navigating seasonal changes, where the interplay between tourism, urban planning, and policing efforts shapes the crime profile.

June 2025 saw dramatic shifts in crime patterns, with bicycle theft surging by 133.3% (from 3 to 7 cases) and vehicle crime rising 91.7% (from 36 to 69). These increases may reflect summer-related trends, such as more outdoor activity or increased vehicle usage during the longer days. Conversely, possession of weapons fell sharply by 85.7% (from 7 to 1), suggesting a possible reduction in targeted incidents or improved enforcement. The balance between violent and property crimes was nearly equal—215 violent and 213 property crimes—marking a departure from the typical dominance of one category. This equilibrium could indicate a shift in criminal priorities, influenced by seasonal factors like tourism or the start of summer holidays. Vehicle crime's 116% above UK average rate (0.8 vs 0.4 per 1,000) raises questions about local infrastructure vulnerabilities, such as parking areas near retail hubs or transport links.

Epsom and Ewell's crime rate in June 2025 (7.8 per 1,000 residents) marks a 21.6% increase compared to the previous month's rate of 6.4 per 1,000. This rise, though modest in absolute terms, translates to 22 reported crimes per day on average—a figure that underscores the need for continued vigilance. When viewed through the lens of population, the monthly exposure of 1-in-129 residents encountering crime highlights a shift in the local crime profile. While the overall rate remains 3.7% below the UK average, the disparity in specific categories is striking: vehicle crime is 116% above the UK average, while anti-social behaviour is 13% higher. These contrasts suggest localized pressures, such as increased traffic or community tensions, that may not align with national trends. The monthly context also reveals that the area's crime profile, while relatively safer than the UK average overall, carries unique vulnerabilities in certain categories that warrant attention.
