Redhill Crime Rate July 2025 | Monthly Statistics

In July 2025, Redhill (Reigate and Banstead) recorded a crime rate of 7.8 per 1,000 residents, placing it 9.3% below the UK average of 8.6 per 1,000. This figure reflects a marked contrast between violent and property crime, with the former accounting for 39.7% of all incidents—nearly double the 16.9% share of anti-social behaviour, the second most common category. The dominance of violent crime, particularly in the form of violence and sexual offences (106 cases), raises questions about the factors influencing personal safety in the area. While July is typically a peak month for tourism and outdoor events, the data suggests that localised factors may be contributing to this imbalance. The area's built-up nature, coupled with its role as a commuter hub, likely influences crime patterns, with public spaces and transport links becoming focal points for incidents. Seasonal context further complicates the picture: schools being out and festivals in full swing may have increased foot traffic in certain areas, heightening opportunities for crime. However, the overall rate remains lower than the UK average, indicating that local initiatives or demographic characteristics may be acting as mitigating factors. The breakdown also reveals that anti-social behaviour, though lower than the national average, still constitutes a significant portion of reported crimes, reflecting the area's social dynamics. These findings highlight the need for a nuanced understanding of crime trends, balancing seasonal influences with the unique characteristics of Redhill's built environment.

July 2025 saw a stark shift in crime dynamics, with violent offences dominating the landscape. Robbery incidents surged by 200%, rising from one to three cases, while theft from the person more than doubled, jumping from three to six. These spikes, though small in absolute terms, signal a concerning trend in personal safety. Anti-social behaviour also rose sharply, increasing by 28.6% as 10 additional incidents were recorded. This growth may reflect the impact of summer festivals and extended public hours, which can strain local policing resources. Conversely, burglary and bicycle theft both halved, with the latter dropping to just one incident—a 50% decline from June. This reduction may be linked to the summer holidays, as fewer residents are present in homes or cycling to work. Violent crime in Redhill remains 2% above the UK average, while anti-social behaviour is 16% below, illustrating a combination of local demographics and national trends.

Redhill's crime rate in July 2025 stood at 7.8 per 1,000 residents, a 3.9% decrease from June's 8.2 per 1,000. This decline aligns with broader seasonal trends, as summer months often see reduced property crime due to increased community presence and outdoor activity. Locally, the daily crime count averaged nine incidents, a figure that, while manageable, underscores the need for vigilance in public spaces. Over the course of the month, one crime occurred for every 128 residents, a ratio that contextualises the monthly exposure for households. This rate, though lower than the UK average, reflects a mix of local factors: the area's commuter demographics, which may reduce opportunities for burglary, and its proximity to recreational hubs, which could contribute to anti-social behaviour. The population context—34,052 residents—further highlights how crime distribution varies across urban and semi-urban settings, with Redhill's built-up nature likely influencing both the frequency and type of incidents reported.
