Tadworth and Epsom Downs Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

June 2025 saw a notable upward trend in crime rates for Tadworth and Epsom Downs, rising to 4.0 per 1,000 residents—a 13.6% increase compared to May. Despite this, the area remains 50.6% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000, underscoring its overall safety. The crime profile was dominated by violence and sexual offences (38 cases, 35.2% of total), followed by anti-social behaviour (14 cases, 13.0%) and criminal damage and arson (13 cases, 12.0%). These figures align with the area’s characteristics as a built-up part of Reigate and Banstead, where community density and local amenities may contribute to higher reports of interpersonal and property-related crimes. Seasonal factors likely played a role, as June marks the start of summer, a period typically associated with increased social activity and tourism in nearby regions. However, the low overall rate suggests that local policing or community initiatives may be effective in maintaining safety. Violence and sexual offences, while the most common category, remain 51% below the UK average, indicating that the area’s demographic and geographic context—including a mix of residential and commercial zones—helps reduce exposure to severe crimes. Anti-social behaviour and public order offences also fell below UK averages, reflecting the area’s relatively low levels of disorder. The data highlights a balance between local challenges and the broader success of crime prevention strategies in this part of Surrey.

June 2025 marked a sharp increase in vehicle crime, which more than tripled from 3 to 11 incidents—a 266.7% rise. This surge, while significant, still keeps the category 8% above the UK average of 0.4 per 1,000. Burglary also rose sharply, doubling from 2 to 5 cases, a 150% increase. This category remains 29% below the UK average, suggesting local factors such as residential security measures may be mitigating risks. Conversely, anti-social behaviour fell by 36.4% to 14 incidents, likely reflecting the start of summer and reduced late-night activity. Other theft dropped by 37.5%, possibly due to increased community vigilance or seasonal changes in retail patterns. The data also reveals that shoplifting, which had not occurred in May, rose to 1 case—a 100% increase—though it remains 100% below the UK average. These shifts highlight the dynamic nature of local crime trends, influenced by both environmental and temporal factors.

The crime rate in Tadworth and Epsom Downs rose by 13.6% in June 2025, moving from 3.5 to 4.0 per 1,000 residents. While this increase is relatively modest compared to national trends, it underscores a shift in local patterns. On average, 4 crimes were reported daily over the month, a figure that, while low, reflects the area’s generally secure environment. Over the course of June, one crime occurred for roughly every 249 residents, a monthly exposure rate that remains well below the UK average. This statistic offers a tangible measure of risk for residents, placing the area’s experience in context. The population-scaled perspective highlights that even with the increase, the overall crime burden remains minimal for most households. Local factors, such as seasonal activity or community events, may have influenced the upward trend. The comparison to previous months and UK averages reinforces that Tadworth and Epsom Downs remain a relatively safe place to live, despite the recent rise.
