Wellesbourne Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Wellesbourne's crime profile in June 2025 is defined by a stark dominance of violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 60.9% of all reported crimes. With an overall crime rate of 2.8 per 1,000 residents—65.4% below the UK average—the area continues to demonstrate significantly lower crime levels than the national average. This pattern aligns with Wellesbourne's character as a small built-up area within Stratford-on-Avon, where the absence of high-density urban environments and a relatively low population contribute to its safety. The seasonal context of June, marking the start of summer, may have influenced crime dynamics, with increased social activity potentially contributing to the rise in violent offences. However, the sharp decline in anti-social behaviour and criminal damage compared to the previous month suggests that local initiatives or seasonal lulls may have played a role. Property crimes, including vehicle crime and theft, remain sparse, with only 5 incidents reported—a reflection of the area's low population density and limited retail or commercial activity. The UK comparison further underscores Wellesbourne's position as an outlier in terms of safety, with violent crime rates 41% below the national average. This suggests that the area's crime profile is shaped not only by its geographical and demographic characteristics but also by the effectiveness of local policing strategies and community engagement efforts. As the summer progresses, the interplay between increased tourism, local events, and ongoing law enforcement measures will likely continue to influence crime trends.

June 2025 saw a 16.7% increase in violence and sexual offences, rising from 12 to 14 incidents, highlighting this category as the dominant driver of crime in Wellesbourne. Concurrently, vehicle crime surged by 100%, jumping from 0 to 1 incident—a stark contrast to previous months. This spike may be linked to increased summer traffic or changes in local parking patterns. Anti-social behaviour and criminal damage both fell by 50% and 66.7%, respectively, suggesting a possible reduction in public disorder or targeted interventions. While violence remains significantly below the UK average (41% lower), the increase in this category underscores the need for continued attention to community safety. For residents, the sharp rise in vehicle crime serves as a specific reminder to secure vehicles during the summer months, when increased foot traffic and events may heighten risks.

Wellesbourne's crime rate in June 2025 (2.8 per 1,000 residents) marks a 32.5% decrease from the previous month's rate of 4.1 per 1,000, reflecting a notable downward trend. This decline aligns with a broader pattern observed in the area over recent months, suggesting sustained efforts in community policing or seasonal factors influencing crime dynamics. On a daily basis, Wellesbourne recorded approximately one crime per day in June, a figure that, while low, underscores the need for continued vigilance. When scaled to the population, the monthly exposure translates to one reported crime for every 362 residents, a statistic that contextualises the rarity of crime in this built-up area. Given Wellesbourne's location within Stratford-on-Avon—a region known for its cultural heritage and rural tranquillity—this low crime rate may be influenced by the area's relatively small population and the absence of high-density urban environments. However, the slight increase in violent crime compared to earlier months indicates that localised factors, such as community events or seasonal activity, could still play a role in shaping crime patterns.
