Redhill (Reigate and Banstead) Crime Rate November 2024 | Monthly Statistics

For every 1,000 residents in Redhill (Reigate and Banstead), 7.1 crimes were recorded in November 2024—a rate 6.6% below the UK average of 7.6 per 1,000. This translates to a roughly 1-in-141 chance of a resident experiencing a crime over the course of the month, a figure that contextualises risk in everyday terms. The most common crime type was violence and sexual offences (28.9% of all crimes), followed by anti-social behaviour (13.2%) and public order offences (11.6%). These patterns may partly explain the area’s character as a commuter hub with a mix of residential and retail spaces, where high foot traffic and seasonal events like Bonfire Night and Black Friday shopping could influence crime dynamics. While the overall rate remains relatively low, the seasonal context of November—marked by darker evenings and increased retail activity—may contribute to spikes in certain categories. The area’s proximity to London and its role as a transport node likely shape crime trends, with property crimes and public order issues reflecting the needs of a transient population. However, the rate of violent crimes remains lower than the UK average, suggesting a community profile that may prioritise safety and policing resources effectively.

November 2024 saw significant fluctuations in specific crime categories, with Other crime surging by 800% compared to October, rising from one reported incident to nine. This jump, alongside a 700% increase in burglary (from one to eight cases), highlights unusual spikes that may reflect transient factors such as seasonal events or unseasonal activity. Conversely, robbery rates fell by 66.7% (from six to two incidents), and theft from the person dropped by 50% (from two to one), potentially linked to heightened police presence or public awareness during the month. Public order offences and drug-related crimes stood out as being 57% and 169% above the UK average, respectively, which could indicate a higher concentration of nightlife or informal activity in certain areas. Meanwhile, anti-social behaviour and violence and sexual offences remained below the UK average, with the former 19% lower and the latter 19% lower. These disparities may reflect local efforts in community engagement or targeted policing strategies. For residents, the 800% rise in Other crime—a category encompassing a range of non-specific incidents—could be a useful data point to monitor, as it suggests areas for further investigation or community action.

The crime rate in Redhill (Reigate and Banstead) rose slightly from 6.9 per 1,000 in October to 7.1 per 1,000 in November 2024, a 2.6% increase. This translates to roughly eight crimes per day during the month, a figure that, while modest, underscores the ongoing need for vigilance. On a per-resident basis, the monthly exposure to crime—1 in every 141 residents—provides a tangible metric for understanding risk in the context of daily life. When scaled to the area’s population of 34,052, this rate suggests that most residents are unlikely to encounter crime directly, though the spikes in certain categories indicate pockets of higher risk. The comparison to the UK average highlights both strengths and areas for improvement: while the overall rate remains below the national benchmark, the disproportionate rise in drug-related crimes and public order offences suggests local challenges that may require tailored interventions. These figures are particularly relevant for families, commuters, and local businesses, who may weigh their safety against the broader context of regional crime trends and police resource allocation.
