Bagshot Crime Rate May 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Bagshot's crime rate in May 2025 reached 13.2 per 1,000 residents, placing it 63% above the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. This marked increase underscores a significant divergence from national trends, with the area experiencing a concentrated rise in specific crime types. The most prevalent offences were vehicle crime, violence and sexual offences, and anti-social behaviour, which together accounted for 68% of all reported incidents. Vehicle crime, in particular, saw a dramatic surge, likely influenced by the area's built-up character and increased traffic during the month. The seasonal context of May—characterised by bank holidays, longer evenings, and heightened outdoor socialising—may have contributed to the rise in violence and anti-social behaviour, as these conditions often correlate with higher levels of public disorder. While the UK average for anti-social behaviour is 1.4 per 1,000, Bagshot's rate of 2.8 per 1,000 is nearly double, reflecting a localised challenge that may require targeted interventions. The sharp increase in vehicle crime, which is 675% above the UK average, highlights a critical vulnerability in the area's infrastructure or enforcement strategies. These trends, when considered alongside the broader seasonal and demographic factors, suggest that Bagshot's crime profile is shaped by a combination of environmental, social, and temporal influences that demand careful analysis and response.

Vehicle crime in Bagshot saw an extraordinary 1800% increase in May 2025, jumping from 1 to 19 incidents. This surge, which is 675% above the UK average of 0.4 per 1,000, suggests a significant shift in criminal activity patterns. Concurrently, drug-related offences rose by 300%, with reports increasing from 1 to 4 cases. This sharp rise may be linked to seasonal factors such as longer evenings and increased socialising, which can contribute to illicit activities. Criminal damage and arson also saw a 150% increase, climbing from 2 to 5 incidents. While shoplifting and other theft decreased by 71.4% and 50% respectively, these declines are offset by the alarming increases in other categories. Residents are advised to remain vigilant, particularly in areas where vehicle crime has spiked, and to report suspicious activity promptly.

Bagshot's crime rate in May 2025 rose to 13.2 per 1,000 residents, marking a 65.2% increase from April's 8.0 per 1,000. This places the area significantly above the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. On a daily basis, 3 crimes were reported over the 31-day period, reflecting a higher frequency of incidents compared to previous months. Over the course of May, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 76 residents, highlighting the heightened exposure to crime for the local population. With a population of 6,159, this translates to a monthly risk that is higher than the national context, though specific comparisons to UK-wide daily or monthly exposure figures are not available. The population-scaled perspective underscores that while the absolute number of crimes may seem low, the rate is elevated in this built-up area, warranting closer attention from residents and local authorities.
