Addlestone Crime Rate July 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Addlestone's crime rate in July 2025 stood at 9.6 per 1,000 residents, placing it 11.6% above the UK average of 8.6 per 1,000. This positioning within the national context highlights the area's distinct challenges, particularly in violent and property crimes. Violence and sexual offences dominated the crime profile, accounting for 37.8% of all incidents (48 cases), with a rate of 3.6 per 1,000—18% above the UK average.

Public order offences, at 1.3 per 1,000, were 103% above the UK average, a stark deviation that may reflect the area's mix of residential and commercial zones. July's peak summer conditions, with schools out and festivals in full swing, likely influenced these patterns, as open spaces and increased foot traffic can amplify certain types of crime. The area's proximity to London and its role as a commuter suburb may also contribute to fluctuations, though local factors such as community engagement and policing strategies appear to temper some trends. For instance, shoplifting remained 8% below the UK average, due to targeted retail security measures. These data points collectively illustrate a community navigating seasonal pressures while striving to maintain safety through proactive interventions.
