Redhill (Reigate and Banstead) Crime Rate December 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For a population of 34,052 residents, the 237 crimes recorded in Redhill (Reigate and Banstead) during December 2025 translate to a crime rate of 7.0 per 1,000 people, exactly matching the UK average. This rate, while consistent with national benchmarks, reveals a complex crime profile shaped by the area's urban characteristics. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 40.5% of all incidents, the highest proportion, followed by anti-social behaviour (13.1%) and shoplifting (8.9%). These figures align with patterns typical of built-up areas, where retail hubs and public spaces generate higher concentrations of certain crimes. The seasonal context of December—marked by Christmas shopping, extended evenings, and the presence of empty homes during holiday periods—may have contributed to the persistent levels of violence and property crime. The rate of violence and sexual offences remained 9% above the UK average, a discrepancy that could be influenced by the area's commuter demographics and the associated social interactions in transport hubs. Conversely, categories like vehicle crime and burglary were significantly below UK averages, reflecting the effectiveness of local security measures in high-traffic zones and residential areas. The balance between property and violent crimes suggests a dynamic interplay between community engagement and the physical infrastructure of the built-up area, with seasonal factors likely playing a role in shaping the monthly crime profile.

December 2025 saw sharp increases in certain crime categories, theft from the person, which jumped 200% from one incident to three. Robbery also doubled, rising from zero to two incidents, while burglary increased by 75% to seven cases. These spikes contrast with declines in bicycle theft (-50%) and anti-social behaviour (-22.5%), which may reflect seasonal dynamics such as reduced outdoor activity during colder weather. Violence and sexual offences remained 9% above the UK average, a persistent trend that could be linked to the area's urban density and social mixing patterns. Conversely, vehicle crime was 46% below the UK average, influenced by the presence of secure parking facilities in the built-up area. For residents, the daily crime rate of 8 incidents offers a tangible benchmark for understanding local safety contexts.

Redhill's crime rate in December 2025 stood at 7.0 per 1,000 residents, a 3.2% decrease from the previous month's rate of 7.2 per 1,000. This slight decline aligns with typical seasonal patterns in built-up areas, where holiday periods often see fluctuations in reported incidents. On a daily basis, the area experienced roughly 8 crimes per day, a figure that contextualises the monthly total of 237 across 31 days. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 144 residents, a metric that provides a clear sense of the population's exposure to crime. While this monthly exposure is consistent with the area's built-up character, the rate remains exactly in line with the UK average, suggesting no significant divergence in policing effectiveness or community safety measures. The decrease from November may partly reflect the impact of seasonal factors, such as reduced foot traffic in retail areas during the Christmas period.
