East Horsley Crime Rate April 2025 | Monthly Statistics

East Horsley, a built-up area within Guildford, recorded 15 crimes in April 2025, a figure that equates to 2.6 crimes per 1,000 residents. This rate is 66.2% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000, placing the area firmly in the safer end of the national spectrum. The breakdown of crimes reveals that violence and sexual offences accounted for 33.3% of the total, followed by public order offences at 20.0%. These figures align with the area's character as a low-density, likely residential and commercial mix, where seasonal factors such as the Easter period and spring weather may influence outdoor activity and, consequently, public order issues. The relatively low crime rate is consistent with East Horsley's position as a historically quiet area, though the 150% increase in violent crime compared to March raises questions about transient factors, such as the timing of local events or changes in policing strategies. The dominance of property-related crimes—accounting for 66.7% of the total—suggests that while violent crime is a concern, it remains a minority of incidents. This balance may reflect the area's limited industrial or commercial activity, which could reduce opportunities for certain types of crime. The seasonal context of April, with its Easter-related foot traffic and increased outdoor engagement, may also contribute to the rise in public order offences. However, the overall safety profile of East Horsley remains strong, with crime rates consistently below national averages and a marked absence of high-frequency issues such as burglary or vehicle crime.

April 2025 saw a 150% increase in violence and sexual offences, rising from 2 to 5 incidents. This surge was accompanied by a 100% rise in public order offences, which jumped from 0 to 3. Conversely, vehicle crime, anti-social behaviour, and other theft each fell by 50%, reflecting a mixed picture of criminal activity. The area's violent crime rate of 0.9 per 1,000 is 66% below the UK average, a stark contrast to the 18% above average rate for 'other crime'. These fluctuations suggest that local dynamics—such as seasonal Easter activities or changes in community engagement—may be influencing trends. For residents, the 15 crimes recorded in April (roughly 0 per day) provide a tangible measure of the area's ongoing safety compared to national benchmarks.

East Horsley's crime rate in April 2025 rose to 2.6 per 1,000 residents, an 88.4% increase from the previous month's 1.4 per 1,000. This brings the area's monthly exposure to one reported crime for roughly every 385 residents, a figure that underscores the relatively low frequency of incidents despite the upward trend. On a daily basis, the 15 total crimes recorded over 30 days translate to approximately 0 crimes per day, a statistic that may offer reassurance to local residents. When scaled to the population of 5,779, the area's crime rate remains 66.2% below the UK average, highlighting a persistent safety advantage. However, the month-on-month surge suggests a need to monitor patterns, particularly in categories like violence and sexual offences, which saw a 150% increase. These figures, while still far below national levels, warrant attention to local factors that could be influencing the shift.
