Reigate Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Reigate’s built-up area maintained a significantly lower crime rate in November 2025 compared to the UK average, with an overall rate of 4.4 per 1,000 residents—39.7% below the national average of 7.3. The area’s crime profile was dominated by violence and sexual offences (27 cases, 24.3% of total), shoplifting (17 cases, 15.3%), and anti-social behaviour (15 cases, 13.5%), reflecting patterns typical of commuter belt suburbs where retail hubs and local amenities drive certain crime types. Seasonal factors likely influenced these figures, with the approach of Bonfire Night and Black Friday potentially contributing to a slight uptick in shoplifting and public order offences. However, the area’s violent crime rate remained below the UK average, with violence and sexual offences at 1.1 per 1,000 residents—57% lower than the national rate. Anti-social behaviour, another key category, was 43% below the UK average, a trend that may be linked to Reigate’s relatively stable community dynamics and limited nightlife infrastructure. The low rate of burglary (6 cases, 5.4% of total) contrasts with a 25% increase above the UK average for vehicle crime, reflecting the area’s car-centric transportation patterns and the presence of commuter parking zones. These findings illustrate a crime environment shaped by both local characteristics and seasonal fluctuations, with the overall trend pointing to a safer area than the UK average.

November 2025 saw a sharp increase in burglary, with cases rising by 200% from two to six. This spike, though small in absolute terms, contrasts with a 66.7% drop in drug-related crimes and a 50% reduction in 'other crime' incidents, which may reflect seasonal shifts in criminal activity. Violent crimes in Reigate remained 57% below the UK average, with 27 cases reported at a rate of 1.1 per 1,000 residents. Shoplifting, the second most common crime, rose slightly above the UK average by 11%, potentially linked to Black Friday shopping activity. Meanwhile, anti-social behaviour remained 43% below the national average, a trend consistent with the area’s low levels of public disorder. Residents may find the 100% increase in possession of weapons—rising from zero to one case—particularly concerning, though such incidents remain rare in the area.

Reigate's crime rate in November 2025 stood at 4.4 per 1,000 residents, a 20.1% decline from the previous month’s rate of 5.5. This reduction positions the area as one of the safer built-up regions in the UK, with the overall rate 39.7% below the national average. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately four crimes per day, a figure that, while modest, reflects the low crime environment typical of commuter belt suburbs. When scaled to the population of 25,220, this translates to a monthly exposure rate of one crime for every 227 residents—a statistic that underscores the relatively low risk residents face compared to larger urban centres. The decline in violent crimes, particularly the 57% gap below the UK average for violence and sexual offences, may be partly explained by local policing efforts or the area’s demographic profile, which includes a significant proportion of middle-aged households and professionals. However, the sharp increase in burglary—doubling from two to six cases—suggests a need for further analysis of property security trends in the area.
