East Horsley Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

East Horsley’s crime profile in November 2025 reveals a striking contrast between violent and property crimes, with the former accounting for 38.5% of all incidents compared to 23.1% for anti-social behaviour, the second most common category. This dominance of violent crime, which includes 5 reported cases of violence and sexual offences, marks a significant departure from the usual pattern observed in the area. The overall crime rate of 2.3 per 1,000 residents places the built-up area 68.5% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000, a figure that underscores the area’s relative safety. Seasonal factors likely contribute to this shift: November, with its shorter days and the proximity of Bonfire Night, may have influenced criminal activity, particularly in areas where public gatherings occur. The low rate of property crimes—just 3 in total—suggests that theft and burglary are not the primary concerns for residents, though the 100% increase in burglary and criminal damage compared to October indicates a potential rise in targeted offences. This balance between violent and property crime may reflect the area’s characteristics as a largely residential, low-density built-up zone within Guildford, where community policing and limited commercial activity could contribute to the lower incidence of property-related offences. However, the sharp rise in violent crime raises questions about local dynamics, linked to seasonal events or changes in population movement, such as the timing of university term breaks or increased foot traffic around local amenities.

November 2025 saw a stark shift in crime patterns, with violent crimes surging by 150% compared to October, rising from 2 to 5 incidents. This marked increase in violence and sexual offences—now the most common crime type—contrasts sharply with a 50% decline in other theft, which dropped from 2 to 1. The property crime category, though lower in absolute numbers, also experienced notable changes: burglary and criminal damage both rose by 100%, indicating a potential focus on targeted offences. These shifts highlight a growing imbalance between property and violent crime, with the latter now dominating the local crime mix. Violence and sexual offences remain significantly below the UK average, at 65% below the national rate of 2.6 per 1,000. This disparity suggests that while local trends are diverging from national patterns, East Horsley’s overall safety remains intact. For residents, the rise in violent crime—particularly around Bonfire Night—may signal a need for heightened awareness during late-night events.

East Horsley’s crime rate in November 2025 rose 18.4% from the previous month’s 1.9 per 1,000 to 2.3 per 1,000. This increase, though modest, reflects a shift in activity patterns typical of late autumn. Daily crime statistics show an average of 0 crimes per day over the month, a figure that underscores the area’s overall safety despite the rise. When scaled to the population, this translates to one reported crime for roughly every 445 residents over the course of the month, a rate that remains exceptionally low compared to national benchmarks. The population context further highlights the significance of this figure: with 5,779 residents, even a small increase in crime can feel impactful. However, the monthly exposure metric provides a broader perspective, showing that the likelihood of experiencing a crime is still far below the average for similar-sized communities. This contrast between absolute numbers and relative risk illustrates the nuanced picture of safety in East Horsley, where crime remains rare but not absent.
