Yateley Crime Rate October 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For a population of 14,739 residents, Yateley recorded 59 crimes in October 2025—a rate of 4.0 per 1,000 people, 48.1% below the UK average of 7.7. This translates to roughly one crime for every 250 residents over the course of the month, a figure that highlights the area’s generally low crime environment. The most common offences were anti-social behaviour (35.6% of total crimes), violence and sexual offences (22.0%), and criminal damage and arson (11.9%). These patterns align with the characteristics of a built-up area within Hart, where community-focused policing and limited nightlife may contribute to lower violent crime rates. Seasonal factors such as darker evenings and Halloween may have influenced the 250% rise in anti-social behaviour, though the overall profile remains stable compared to other months. The UK average for violent crime is 2.7 per 1,000, yet Yateley’s rate of 0.9 per 1,000 is 66% below, consistent with the area’s likely mix of residential and commercial zones with minimal late-night activity. Property crime, including shoplifting and burglary, rose sharply in October, but these rates still remain below national averages, suggesting local initiatives or environmental factors may be at play. The data illustrates a community where crime is infrequent but not absent, with seasonal shifts and specific incident types requiring targeted attention.

October saw a 250% increase in anti-social behaviour, rising from six to 21 incidents—a sharp spike that may partly explain the overall rate increase. Shoplifting also surged by 200%, jumping from two to six cases, potentially linked to Halloween activity or seasonal retail patterns. Burglary rose by 150%, with five incidents reported, though this remains below the UK average for the category. Violent crime in Yateley was 66% below the UK average, with 13 incidents reported at a rate of 0.9 per 1,000 residents. Public order offences and drug-related crimes both halved, though these categories were already below UK averages. For residents, the 250% jump in anti-social behaviour offers a clear indicator of areas requiring community attention, particularly in the context of darker evenings and seasonal events.

Yateley's crime rate in October 2025 rose 11.1% from 3.6 to 4.0 per 1,000 residents, reflecting a slight upward trend after a period of relative stability. This increase, though modest, is notable against a backdrop of consistently low crime levels compared to the UK average. On a daily basis, the area recorded roughly two crimes per day in October—a figure that translates to a local resident facing a reported crime approximately every 250 days. This monthly exposure rate underscores the rarity of crime in Yateley, with only one in 250 residents experiencing a reported incident over the course of the month. When scaled to population size, the area’s crime profile remains markedly safer than the UK average, with violent crime rates 66% below national levels and shoplifting incidents 37% lower than the UK average. This combination of low frequency and stark regional disparities suggests Yateley’s socio-economic and geographic characteristics—possibly including a mix of residential and commercial zones with limited nightlife—play a role in its crime dynamics.
