Thornbury Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Thornbury’s crime rate for June 2025 stood at 7.3 per 1,000 residents, placing it 9.9% below the UK average of 8.1. This overall figure masks a nuanced breakdown, with violence and sexual offences dominating at 46 incidents (45.1% of total crimes), a rate of 3.3 per 1,000—15% above the UK average. This category’s elevated position relative to national trends suggests a local dynamic that may be influenced by the area’s character as a built-up zone within South Gloucestershire, where community density and social interactions could contribute to such incidents. Anti-social behaviour followed as the second most common category, accounting for 19.6% of all crimes, while shoplifting (8.8%) and public order offences (7.8%) also featured prominently. Seasonal context is relevant: June marks the start of summer, a period often associated with increased tourism and outdoor activity, which may influence crime patterns. However, Thornbury’s property crime rate, at 24 incidents (23.5% of total crimes), remains well below the UK average for this category, reflecting a broader trend of lower property-related incidents compared to the national profile. This contrast between violent and property crime highlights a distinct crime picture for Thornbury, one where community-focused policing and local initiatives may play a role in managing the former while maintaining a relatively low incidence of the latter.

June 2025 saw a 200% increase in other theft, rising from 2 to 6 incidents, and a 125% jump in shoplifting, with cases doubling from 4 to 9. These spikes contrast with a 70% drop in drug-related crimes, which fell from 10 to 3, and a 66.7% decrease in 'other crime' cases. The violence and sexual offences category, at 46 incidents (45.1% of total crimes), exceeded the UK average by 15%, a deviation that stands out against Thornbury’s overall lower crime rate. This suggests a concentration of violent incidents that may be influenced by local factors such as community events or seasonal activity patterns. For residents, the sharp rise in shoplifting—a 125% increase—could signal a need for heightened vigilance in retail areas during peak summer months.

Thornbury's crime rate in June 2025 rose by 29.0% compared to the previous month, moving from 5.7 to 7.3 per 1,000 residents. This upward trend aligns with seasonal patterns typical of summer months, when increased foot traffic and extended daylight hours may influence crime dynamics. Locally, the daily crime count averaged 3 incidents per day over the month, a figure that reflects the area’s relatively low overall crime rate. When viewed through a population lens, this translates to one reported crime occurring for roughly every 136 residents over the course of June. While this monthly exposure remains lower than the UK average, the shift from May to June highlights fluctuations that could be linked to local events or changes in community activity. The comparison underscores that while Thornbury remains safer than the national average, its crime profile is not static and warrants continued monitoring.
