East Horsley Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

East Horsley's crime rate in June 2025 stood at 3.1 per 1,000 residents, a figure that places the area 61.7% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. This stark contrast underscores the area's status as one of the safest within the Guildford borough. The most prevalent crime type was anti-social behaviour, which accounted for 33.3% of all reported incidents, followed by violence and sexual offences (27.8%) and criminal damage and arson (16.7%). These patterns align with East Horsley's character as a low-density, commuter-oriented built-up area where social interactions are often confined to local communities and public spaces. The seasonal context of June, with its longer days and the onset of summer tourism, may have contributed to the prevalence of anti-social behaviour, as increased outdoor activity could lead to more visible disputes or disruptions. However, the low levels of property crime—particularly burglary and vehicle crime—suggest that the area's limited commercial infrastructure and residential spread reduce opportunities for such offences. The absence of significant spikes in theft or violent crime further reinforces the notion that East Horsley's crime profile is shaped more by its demographic and geographic characteristics than by broader national trends. This combination of factors likely explains why the area consistently maintains crime rates well below the UK average, even as seasonal transitions influence the types of incidents recorded.

June 2025 saw sharp increases in criminal damage and arson, which tripled from one to three incidents, and burglary and vehicle crime, both of which rose from zero to one. These spikes, though modest in absolute terms, suggest localized issues such as targeted vandalism or seasonal neglect of properties. Conversely, violence and sexual offences dropped by 37.5%, from eight to five incidents, likely reflecting the impact of summer holidays reducing foot traffic in public spaces. Anti-social behaviour remained the most prevalent category, accounting for 33.3% of all crimes, yet it still performed 30% below the UK average of 1.4 per 1,000. This contrast highlights East Horsley's distinct social dynamics compared to larger urban centres. For residents, the 69% below-average rate for violence and sexual offences offers a tangible reassurance that the area remains a low-risk environment for personal safety.

East Horsley's crime rate in June 2025 fell to 3.1 per 1,000 residents, a 10.1% decline from the previous month's 3.5 per 1,000. This downward trend aligns with the area's historically low crime profile, which has consistently lagged behind the UK average. On a daily basis, the local police recorded an average of one crime per day in June, a figure that reflects the area's small population and limited density of commercial or residential hubs. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 321 residents, underscoring the rarity of incidents in this built-up area. When compared to the UK's average of 8.1 per 1,000, East Horsley's performance highlights the effectiveness of local policing strategies, though the low population base inherently limits the volume of reported crimes. This context is critical for residents assessing risk: while absolute numbers remain minimal, the relative safety of East Horsley is evident in both monthly and daily metrics.
