Wellesbourne Crime Rate July 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Wellesbourne's crime profile in July 2025 reveals a striking contrast between property and violent crime trends. With a total crime rate of 2.9 per 1,000 residents—66.3% below the UK average—the area remains a low-crime environment. However, the balance between crime types is notable: violent crimes accounted for 37.5% of incidents, while property crimes made up 33.3%. This near-parity, despite the overall low rate, may indicate seasonal influences. July, a peak summer month with schools closed and tourism at its height, likely contributes to increased public activity in the historic market town. The rise in 'other theft' and public order offences aligns with the summer rhythm of events and festivals. Violent crime, while slightly higher than property crime, remains significantly below the UK average, reflecting the area's character as a relatively stable community. The low rate of violent crime—1.1 per 1,000—suggests that local policing or community dynamics may mitigate conflict, though this could also be attributed to the town's smaller size and lower population density. Seasonal factors, such as the absence of students during summer holidays, may reduce certain types of crime, yet the surge in 'other theft' highlights the need for vigilance during periods of high foot traffic.

July 2025 saw a dramatic 300% increase in 'other theft' crimes, rising from one to four incidents. This sharp rise, coupled with 100% increases in public order, robbery, and theft from the person, signals a notable shift in the crime mix. While violent crimes fell by 35.7% (from 14 to 9), the area's violent crime rate of 1.1 per 1,000 remains 64% below the UK average. The dominance of property crimes over violent ones—despite the latter's decrease—suggests a broader pattern influenced by seasonal factors. For instance, the surge in 'other theft' may reflect heightened activity during summer festivals or events. Residents may find the 300% jump in 'other theft' particularly concerning, as it represents the largest single-month increase in this category since records began.

Wellesbourne's crime rate in July 2025 rose by 4.3% compared to the previous month, moving from 2.8 to 2.9 per 1,000 residents. This slight increase, however, remains well below the UK average of 8.6 per 1,000. On a daily basis, the area saw roughly one crime reported every 31 days, translating to an aggregate monthly exposure of one crime for every 347 residents. This figure contextualises the scale of incidents for local residents, showing that the likelihood of experiencing a crime remains relatively low. When scaled to the population of 8,321, the monthly exposure highlights that the vast majority of residents are not directly affected by crime, though the small number of incidents still warrants attention. The shift from June to July also reflects seasonal rhythms, with increased foot traffic during festivals and events potentially contributing to the minor uptick in reported crimes.
