Worcester Park and Stoneleigh Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Worcester Park and Stoneleigh recorded a crime rate of 3.2 per 1,000 in November 2025, a figure that is 56.2% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. This comparatively low rate reflects the area’s character as a built-up district within Epsom and Ewell, where population density and local infrastructure likely influence crime patterns. The most prevalent crime category was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 34.0% of all incidents (16 cases), followed by criminal damage and arson (14.9%) and vehicle crime (14.9%). The seasonal context of November—marked by Bonfire Night, Black Friday shopping, and darker evenings—may have contributed to the distribution of crimes, with public order offences and shoplifting typically rising during periods of increased foot traffic and social activity. However, the area’s crime rate remains significantly lower than the UK average, a trend consistent with its status as a relatively safe, suburban environment. The dominance of violent crime over property-related offences suggests that local factors, such as community cohesion or policing strategies, may play a role in shaping these outcomes. The low rate of shoplifting (4.3%) and public order offences (4.3%) further indicates that the area’s retail and public spaces are not experiencing the same pressures as more densely populated or tourist-heavy regions.

The most dramatic month-on-month change in November 2025 was a 250% increase in criminal damage and arson, rising from 2 to 7 incidents. This sharp rise aligns with the timing of Bonfire Night, a seasonal event that often correlates with spikes in such offences due to increased public gatherings and pyrotechnic activity. Conversely, anti-social behaviour fell by 44.4%, from 9 to 5 incidents, a decline that may reflect the end of a school term or reduced public congregation in local parks and open spaces. Meanwhile, vehicle crime remained stable at 7 incidents, a rate of 0.5 per 1,000, which is 25% above the UK average of 0.4 per 1,000. This suggests that local factors, such as commuter traffic or parking patterns, may be contributing to this category’s performance. For residents, the 250% jump in criminal damage and arson is a specific data point that warrants attention, particularly as it highlights the influence of seasonal events on local crime trends.

The crime rate in Worcester Park and Stoneleigh rose by 12.0% in November 2025 compared to 2.8 per 1,000 in the previous month, reflecting a slight upward trend. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately 2 crimes per day over the 30-day period, a figure that contextualises the pace of incidents for residents. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 315 residents, a monthly exposure rate that underscores the relatively low frequency of incidents compared to the UK average. This figure, while modest, is influenced by the area’s population size and local crime patterns, which differ from broader national trends. The shift from October to November also coincides with seasonal factors, such as darker evenings and the approach of the festive period, which may contribute to altered patterns of activity and, consequently, crime. However, the overall rate remains significantly below the UK average, highlighting the area’s generally lower risk profile despite the month-on-month increase.
