Egham Crime Rate September 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For Egham’s population of 26,589, September 2025 saw 166 crimes reported—a rate of 6.2 per 1,000 residents, 16.2% below the UK average of 7.4. This figure, while modest, contextualises the area’s relative safety within a built-up part of Runnymede. The crime profile was dominated by violence and sexual offences (59 incidents, 35.5% of total), followed by public order (20, 12.1%) and shoplifting (19, 11.5%). These patterns align with seasonal rhythms, as September marks the return to school and university term, potentially influencing social interactions and public space usage. The higher-than-average public order offences—48% above the UK average—may reflect increased foot traffic in town centres or challenges in managing community gatherings. Conversely, anti-social behaviour fell sharply (36.4% decrease), due to the end of summer holidays reducing transient populations. The area’s crime rate, though lower nationally, reveals a mixed picture: while violent crime remains below average, property-related offences like shoplifting and vehicle crime show divergent trends. The 350% increase in vehicle crime, for instance, could be attributed to changes in parking patterns or unreported incidents. Overall, Egham’s crime profile in September 2025 reflects both the benefits of its lower-than-average violent crime rates and the challenges posed by specific categories that exceed national benchmarks.

September 2025 saw stark contrasts in crime trends, with vehicle crime surging by 350% (from 2 to 9 incidents), and drugs offences rising 233% (from 3 to 10). These increases, though small in absolute terms, signal potential shifts in local dynamics, possibly linked to seasonal transitions or unrecorded activities. Conversely, anti-social behaviour dropped by 36.4% (from 22 to 14), and shoplifting fell by 20.8% (from 24 to 19), suggesting a temporary reduction in certain disruptive behaviours. Violence and sexual offences remained 15% below the UK average (2.2 vs 2.6 per 1,000), while public order offences were 48% above (0.8 vs 0.5 per 1,000), highlighting a combination of community-specific challenges and broader national trends. For residents, the sharp rise in vehicle crime—a category typically linked to commuter parking or retail areas—may prompt renewed focus on securing vehicles in Egham’s built-up zones.

Egham’s September 2025 crime rate of 6.2 per 1,000 residents marked a 4.1% decrease from the previous month’s 6.5, reflecting a slight downward trend. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately 6 crimes per day, a figure that contextualises the pace of incidents within a 30-day period. When scaled to the population of 26,589, the monthly exposure translates to one reported crime occurring for roughly every 160 residents, a metric that underscores the relative rarity of incidents in this built-up area. This rate remains lower than the UK average, but the localised shifts in crime types—such as the sharp rise in vehicle crime and drugs offences—suggest evolving patterns that may warrant closer examination. The comparison to the previous month highlights a modest but consistent reduction in overall crime, though specific categories like public order and shoplifting show mixed trends. These figures, when considered alongside the area’s population density and urban infrastructure, provide a nuanced view of Egham’s security landscape.
