Fremington Crime Rate July 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Fremington's crime profile in July 2025 reveals a marked contrast to the UK average, with a rate of 3.1 per 1,000 residents—64% below the national figure of 8.6 per 1,000. This low rate is underscored by the dominance of two categories: violence and sexual offences (37.5% of total crimes) and anti-social behaviour (another 37.5%), which together account for 75% of reported incidents. The seasonal context of July, a peak summer month in North Devon, likely contributes to these patterns, as tourism and festivals drive foot traffic and public interactions. While violence and sexual offences decreased slightly from the previous month, the emergence of anti-social behaviour and public order offences—both previously unrecorded in Fremington—suggests a shift in local dynamics. These increases may be linked to the area's role as a destination for summer events, where transient populations and crowded conditions could amplify tensions. Bicycle theft, though minimal in absolute terms (0.2 per 1,000), is 150% above the UK average, a discrepancy that could reflect the growing presence of cyclists during the summer season or gaps in local security measures. The overall crime rate remains low, but the sudden rise in anti-social behaviour and public order issues demands closer attention, particularly as Fremington navigates the challenges of a seasonal influx.

July 2025 saw three crime types surge to previously unrecorded levels in Fremington: anti-social behaviour, public order offences, and bicycle theft, each rising from zero to six, one, and one incidents respectively. This marks a stark contrast to the slight 14.3% decrease in violence and sexual offences, which fell from seven to six. The bicycle theft rate in Fremington (0.2 per 1,000) is 150% above the UK average of 0.1 per 1,000, a disparity that may partly explain the sudden spike. Anti-social behaviour, now at 1.2 per 1,000, is 23% below the UK average of 1.6 per 1,000, highlighting a combination of local enforcement and community dynamics. For residents, the absence of prior reports for these categories suggests a new challenge in addressing emerging patterns, particularly in areas with transient populations or seasonal events that may contribute to increased public disorder.

Fremington's crime rate in July 2025 rose by 23.4% compared to the previous month, moving from 2.5 to 3.1 per 1,000 residents. While this increase marks a shift, the area remains significantly safer than the UK average, which stands at 8.6 per 1,000. Locally, the daily crime count averaged roughly one incident per day over the 31-day period, a figure that, while modest, reflects the concentrated nature of reported incidents in a built-up area. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 327 residents, a monthly exposure rate that underscores the relatively low frequency of crime in Fremington. This statistic is particularly notable when compared to the UK's broader context, where higher population densities and urban centres often see more frequent incidents. The population-scaled perspective reveals that Fremington's residents face a much lower risk of encountering crime than the national average, even as the area experiences a slight uptick in specific categories like anti-social behaviour and public order offences.
