Redhill Crime Rate September 2025 | Monthly Statistics

September 2025 marked a continued period of relative safety in Redhill (Reigate and Banstead), with an overall crime rate of 6.6 per 1,000 — 10.8% below the UK average of 7.4. This figure reflects a sustained improvement compared to the previous month, when the rate stood at 8.1 per 1,000. The area’s crime profile remained dominated by violence and sexual offences, accounting for 33.9% of all incidents, followed by anti-social behaviour (17.9%) and public order offences (12.5%). These patterns align with the area’s character as a commuter town with a mix of residential and commercial zones, where high foot traffic in public spaces may contribute to anti-social behaviour and public order issues. Seasonal factors, including the back-to-school period and the start of university freshers’ week, likely influenced crime trends, with increased presence in town centres potentially reducing opportunities for shoplifting and burglary while raising awareness among residents. However, the drop in property crime was accompanied by a sharp rise in drugs-related offences, which increased by 54.5% compared to August, though this category remains significantly below the UK average. This suggests that while broader crime prevention efforts have had a measurable impact, targeted interventions may be needed to address emerging issues in specific areas of the town.

September 2025 saw a notable decline in shoplifting, which dropped by 52.0% (25 to 12), and burglary, down 33.3% (12 to 8), likely reflecting increased awareness during the back-to-school season. Conversely, drugs-related crimes surged by 54.5% (11 to 17), a sharp increase that contrasts with the UK average of 0.3 per 1,000, suggesting localised factors may be at play. Theft from the person rose by 50.0% (2 to 3), though this remains below the UK average. Public order offences, at 0.8 per 1,000, were 48% above the UK average, indicating a need for targeted interventions in high-traffic areas. These shifts highlight a combination of seasonal dynamics and local crime patterns, with property crimes declining while certain antisocial activities increased.

Redhill's crime rate in September 2025 fell by 18.3% compared to August's 8.1 per 1,000, reflecting a marked improvement in overall safety. On average, 7 crimes were reported daily during the month, a figure that contextualises the pace of incidents within the area’s built-up environment. Over the course of September, one crime occurred for roughly every 152 residents, a monthly exposure rate that contrasts with the UK average but aligns with local patterns of lower property crime. The population context further illustrates that the 34,052 residents of Redhill experienced a crime rate 10.8% below the national average, suggesting a combination of community factors and local policing efforts may have contributed to this trend. This decline follows a period of seasonal transition, with back-to-school routines potentially reducing opportunities for certain crimes while increasing awareness among residents.
