Horley Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Horley’s crime rate in June 2025 stood at 5.8 per 1,000 residents, a figure 28.4% below the UK average of 8.1. This performance underscores the area’s status as a relatively low-crime built-up zone within Reigate and Banstead. Violence and sexual offences dominated the crime profile, accounting for nearly half (49.2%) of all reported incidents, though this category remained only 1% above the UK average. Anti-social behaviour, meanwhile, was 51% below the national benchmark, a trend consistent with the area’s focus on community engagement and local policing. The seasonal context of June—marking the start of summer and longer daylight hours—likely influenced crime patterns, with increased outdoor activity potentially reducing opportunities for certain offences. However, the data also reveals a 120% rise in criminal damage and arson, a spike that may reflect unseasonal weather conditions or specific local factors. This month’s statistics highlight a combination of seasonal trends and targeted interventions, with Horley’s overall safety profile continuing to outperform national averages. The dominance of violent crime, despite its relatively modest excess over the UK average, suggests a need for focused efforts in addressing interpersonal conflicts and ensuring public safety during peak social periods.

June 2025 saw notable decreases in several crime categories, with anti-social behaviour dropping by 50% compared to May. This decline, from 42 to 21 incidents, may reflect the impact of local initiatives or seasonal changes, such as reduced evening gatherings during the early summer. Meanwhile, violent crimes accounted for nearly half (49.2%) of all reported incidents, a share slightly above the UK average for this category. However, other areas showed marked improvement: shoplifting fell 52% below the UK average, and criminal damage and arson rose sharply by 120%, indicating a shift in crime patterns. Residents may find the 50% reduction in anti-social behaviour particularly reassuring, as this category often correlates with public safety and community well-being. Vehicle crime also increased by 80%, suggesting a need for continued vigilance in parking areas and transport hubs.

Horley's crime rate in June 2025 dropped to 5.8 per 1,000 residents, a 16.2% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 7.0. This decline aligns with broader trends observed in similar built-up areas during the summer months, where increased daylight and community engagement may reduce opportunities for crime. Daily crime statistics show an average of six reported incidents per day, a figure that reflects the area’s relatively low crime profile compared to national averages. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 171 residents, underscoring the rarity of incidents in this population of 30,982. This monthly exposure rate is particularly notable when considering the area’s proximity to Reigate and Banstead, where urban amenities and community policing initiatives may contribute to sustained reductions in crime. The population-scaled perspective further illustrates that Horley remains a safer environment than many UK regions, with crime rates consistently below the national benchmark.
