Egham Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Egham's crime rate in June 2025 stood at 6.9 per 1,000, marking a 14.8% improvement over the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. This performance underscores the area's consistent safety record, which has historically been lower than national benchmarks. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 31.2% of all crimes, followed by anti-social behaviour at 20.2% and other theft at 9.8%. These figures reflect Egham's character as a commuter-oriented built-up area within Runnymede, where community cohesion and local policing likely contribute to lower violent crime rates. The seasonal context of June — the start of summer — may have influenced patterns, with longer days potentially reducing opportunities for certain crimes while increasing foot traffic in retail and leisure areas. However, the data also highlights the need for targeted interventions in specific categories, such as drug-related offences, which are 85% above the UK average. This discrepancy suggests that local factors, such as proximity to transport hubs or transient populations, may be contributing to this trend. The balance between property and violent crimes remains skewed, with property crimes (including shoplifting and burglary) making up 34.4% of all incidents, though many of these categories are below the UK average. This mix of outcomes illustrates the combination of local demographics, infrastructure, and seasonal rhythms that shape Egham's crime profile. As the area transitions into the summer months, continued monitoring of these trends will be essential to maintaining the current level of safety.

June saw notable decreases in several crime categories, including a 60% drop in vehicle crime and a 50% reduction in robbery. These declines may reflect seasonal factors, such as increased foot traffic in local businesses during summer, which could deter opportunistic crimes. Conversely, shoplifting rose by 41.7%, linked to the start of the tourist season and longer daylight hours. Drug-related offences also increased by 27.3%, a trend that contrasts with Egham's generally low crime profile. This category is 85% above the UK average, suggesting a specific local challenge that warrants further attention. Meanwhile, anti-social behaviour remained stable at 1.4 per 1,000 — just 1% below the UK average — indicating that community-focused initiatives may be maintaining this category's control. Residents might find the 100% reduction in robbery particularly reassuring, as it highlights the effectiveness of local policing or community vigilance in preventing violent crimes.

Egham's crime rate in June 2025 fell by 16.8% compared to May's 8.3 per 1,000, bringing it to 6.9 per 1,000 — a level 14.8% below the UK average. This decline aligns with the area's generally low crime profile, which has consistently outperformed national trends. On a daily basis, Egham recorded approximately six crimes per day in June, a figure that reflects the area's relatively safe environment for residents. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 145 residents, highlighting the low frequency of incidents relative to population size. This monthly exposure rate is particularly significant for households considering relocation, as it illustrates the rarity of crime in everyday life. The drop in overall crime may partly explain the reduced presence of certain offences, such as vehicle crime and robbery, which fell by 60% and 50% respectively. However, the population context remains crucial: with 26,589 residents, the absolute number of crimes remains small, reinforcing Egham's status as a low-crime built-up area.
