Addlestone Crime Rate October 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Violence and sexual offences dominated Addlestone’s crime profile in October 2025, accounting for 35% of all reported crimes. With a crime rate of 7.8 per 1,000 residents, the area slightly exceeded the UK average of 7.7, though the gap was narrow at 1.3%. The dominance of violent crime over property crime highlights a distinct pattern, which may be influenced by local factors such as the area’s mix of residential and commercial spaces. Addlestone’s built-up character within the broader Runnymede borough likely contributes to higher levels of interpersonal interaction, potentially increasing exposure to such offences. Seasonal considerations in October—such as the return to darker evenings following the clocks’ backward shift and the proximity of Halloween—may have amplified social activity in certain areas, creating environments where violence is more likely to occur. While anti-social behaviour and other theft also featured prominently, these categories remained below the UK average for their respective types. The overall picture suggests a community that, despite its low overall crime rate, faces specific challenges in managing violent and disorderly conduct, particularly during periods of heightened social activity.

October 2025 saw notable shifts in Addlestone’s crime profile, with possession of weapons increasing by 100% compared to the previous month. This rise, from zero to one incident, suggests a potential uptick in incidents linked to seasonal events or local gatherings. Concurrently, other theft rose by 42.9%, driven by a jump from seven to ten incidents. This category is 54% above the UK average, indicating a localised challenge that may be influenced by factors such as increased foot traffic around retail areas or social events. In contrast, drugs-related crimes fell by 60%, likely reflecting a seasonal dip in activity or successful local interventions. Robbery also declined by 50%, though the category remains below the UK average. Public order offences decreased by 25%, which may be attributable to the transition into darker evenings and the winding down of Halloween-related events, which can sometimes drive transient disturbances.

Addlestone's crime rate in October 2025 fell by 8.0% compared to the previous month, dropping from 8.5 to 7.8 per 1,000 residents. This decline aligns with typical seasonal patterns, where crime rates often moderate after the peak of summer activity. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately three crimes per day during October, a figure that reflects the area’s relatively low overall crime profile. When scaled to the population, this translates to one reported crime occurring for roughly every 128 residents over the course of the month—a rate that remains below the threshold often associated with high-risk areas. The drop from the prior month’s rate may be linked to the transition into autumn, with reduced outdoor activity and the winding down of holiday-related events. However, certain categories, such as other theft, saw significant increases, highlighting the need for continued vigilance in specific areas of concern.
