Camberley Crime Rate April 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Camberley’s crime rate in April 2025 stood at 5.9 per 1,000 residents, placing it 23.4% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. This sustained decline aligns with the area’s historical trend of maintaining lower-than-average crime levels, particularly in property-related offences. Violence and sexual offences dominated the crime profile, accounting for nearly half (49.3%) of all incidents, a figure that is 11% above the UK average. This anomaly may be partially explained by the area’s demographic profile, with a significant proportion of working-age residents who may be more likely to experience such crimes in public spaces. Anti-social behaviour, meanwhile, remained significantly below the UK average (47% lower), suggesting effective community policing or strong social cohesion in residential areas. The seasonal context of April—marked by Easter and the onset of spring—likely contributed to increased outdoor activity, which may have influenced the rise in public order offences and anti-social behaviour. However, the overall picture remains one of relative safety, with Camberley’s property crime rate (5.9 per 1,000) well below the UK average. This contrast with the higher rate of violent crime underscores the complexity of local crime patterns, where factors such as the area’s proximity to commuter routes and its mix of residential and commercial zones may play a role. The relatively low levels of burglary, shoplifting, and vehicle crime further reinforce Camberley’s position as a low-crime built-up area, though the persistent challenge of violent crime highlights the need for targeted strategies to address this category.

April 2025 saw a significant reduction in criminal damage and arson, with a 75% decrease compared to March, reflecting potentially improved community engagement or seasonal factors. Vehicle crime increased by 42.9%, likely linked to heightened outdoor activity during spring, while drugs-related offences rose by 16.7%, a trend that may require closer monitoring. Violence and sexual offences increased by 15.4% to 105 incidents, a figure that is 11% above the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000. This contrast with Camberley’s overall low crime rate highlights the need for focused interventions in this category. Meanwhile, anti-social behaviour remained well below the UK average, at 47% lower, illustrating the area’s generally stable social environment. For residents, the significant drop in burglary (60% decrease) provides a tangible reassurance of improved safety in residential areas.

Camberley's crime rate in April 2025 fell by 16.8% compared to March 2025, declining from 7.0 to 5.9 per 1,000 residents. This marks a continuation of the downward trend observed in recent months, with the area now recording one of the lowest crime rates in Surrey. On a daily basis, the built-up area saw approximately seven crimes reported each day in April, a figure that remains stable despite seasonal fluctuations. When considering the monthly exposure, over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 171 residents, reflecting a relatively low level of crime compared to national averages. This rate is particularly notable when compared to the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000, highlighting Camberley's position as a safer area within the region. The population-scaled perspective further underscores the effectiveness of local policing and community initiatives in maintaining security, although the relatively high rate of violence and sexual offences suggests areas for targeted improvement.
