Spelthorne Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

The crime mix in Spelthorne during November 2025 reveals a distinct pattern shaped by both local characteristics and seasonal influences. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 34.3% of all crimes, the highest proportion of any category, followed by anti-social behaviour (14.1%) and public order offences (9.1%). This balance suggests a community where interpersonal conflicts and disorderly conduct remain significant concerns, though the overall crime rate of 6.8 per 1,000 residents is 6.8% below the UK average. The prominence of violent crime may be linked to factors such as the area’s demographic profile, with a mix of residential and commercial zones that could contribute to higher rates of conflict. Public order offences, while below the UK average for most categories, exceeded the national benchmark by 28%, a discrepancy that may reflect localized pressures, such as the impact of Bonfire Night events or increased foot traffic during the Black Friday shopping period. Property crimes such as shoplifting and vehicle crime remained relatively low compared to the UK, with shoplifting at 0.6 per 1,000 (5% below the UK average) and vehicle crime at 0.3 per 1,000 (25% below). These figures could indicate effective policing in retail areas or a lower incidence of targeted property crimes in Spelthorne compared to other regions. The seasonal context of November—marked by shorter days, colder weather, and events like Bonfire Night—likely influenced some trends, with public order offences spiking due to increased social gatherings. However, the absence of a significant rise in violent crime despite these factors suggests that local initiatives or community engagement efforts may have played a role in maintaining stability. Overall, the crime profile of Spelthorne in November 2025 illustrates a combination of routine activity patterns, environmental factors, and the effectiveness of local crime prevention measures.

November 2025 saw a stark increase in robbery, with incidents rising by 80% (from 5 to 9 cases). This spike contrasts with a 75% drop in bicycle theft, which fell from 8 to 2 cases, potentially linked to seasonal changes in cycling activity. The crime mix also shifted, with violent crime comprising 34.3% of all incidents, slightly higher than the UK average for this category (2.6 per 1,000). Public order offences, at 0.6 per 1,000, exceeded the UK average by 28%, a figure that may reflect increased community activity during events like Bonfire Night. Conversely, vehicle crime dropped by 31.9% (from 47 to 32 cases), due to reduced daylight hours and altered commuting patterns. These fluctuations highlight how local dynamics, such as seasonal events and environmental factors, can influence crime trends in real time.

Spelthorne's crime rate in November 2025 fell to 6.8 per 1,000 residents, a 3.5% decline from the previous month’s rate of 7.1 per 1,000. This monthly decrease aligns with broader trends observed in similar areas during late autumn, though local factors may have influenced the shift. On a daily basis, the area recorded roughly 24 crimes per day in November, a figure that translates to one reported crime for every 147 residents over the course of the month. This monthly exposure rate provides a tangible sense of how frequently crime occurs in the community, though it does not account for variations in population density or geographic distribution within the district. When scaled to Spelthorne’s population of 107,074, the rate remains lower than the UK average, reflecting a consistent pattern of below-average crime levels in this local authority area. The decline from October suggests potential seasonal or situational factors, such as reduced foot traffic during the holiday period or community initiatives that may have temporarily mitigated incidents.
