Camberley Crime Rate August 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Camberley’s crime rate in August 2025 stood at 6.4 per 1,000 residents, 21% below the UK average of 8.1. This performance underscores the area’s consistent safety record. Violence and sexual offences remained the most prevalent category, accounting for 36.3% of all reported crimes, with a rate of 2.3 per 1,000—20% lower than the UK average. Anti-social behaviour followed closely, contributing 19.2% of incidents, while criminal damage and arson, though minor in volume, rose by 35.3% compared to July. These figures reflect Camberley’s position as a low-crime built-up area within Surrey Heath, where community policing and suburban infrastructure likely contribute to the lower rates. The seasonal context of August—typically a peak holiday month—may have influenced some trends, such as the modest increase in criminal damage and arson, potentially linked to increased outdoor activity or the temporary vacancy of homes during the summer. However, the overall stability in crime rates, coupled with the absence of major spikes, suggests that local initiatives and environmental factors continue to play a role in maintaining safety. Property crimes accounted for only 29.5% of incidents, with violent crimes dominating the breakdown, a contrast to many urban centres where property crimes are more common. This imbalance may be attributed to Camberley’s suburban character, where social interactions and community cohesion could reduce opportunities for property-related offences. While direct causation, the interplay between demographic trends, local governance, and seasonal rhythms likely shapes these outcomes.

August 2025 saw a 100% increase in bicycle theft, with two incidents reported—marking a stark departure from the previous month’s zero cases. This surge, though small in absolute terms, raises questions about potential seasonal factors, such as increased cycling during holidays or the availability of unsecured bikes in residential areas. Concurrently, theft from the person also rose by 100%. In contrast, robbery fell by 50%, with only one reported case, a trend consistent with broader declines in violent crimes. Violence and sexual offences, the most common crime category, remained 20% below the UK average at 2.3 per 1,000, highlighting Camberley’s ongoing success in mitigating severe crime. Meanwhile, criminal damage and arson rose by 35.3%, a shift that may reflect heightened activity during the summer months, though no definitive link to local events is evident. These fluctuations illustrate the dynamic nature of crime patterns, even in areas with generally low rates.

Camberley's crime rate in August 2025 remained stable at 6.4 per 1,000 residents, a 1.4% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 6.5. This consistency suggests no major spikes or dips in overall criminal activity. On a daily basis, the area saw approximately 8 crimes reported each day, a figure that contextualizes the pace of incidents for residents. Over the course of the month, one crime was reported for every 156 residents, a monthly exposure rate that underscores the relatively low frequency of crime in Camberley compared to national averages. When viewed against the UK population of over 68 million, Camberley’s population of 36,429 places its crime statistics in a context of lower density and potentially more community-oriented policing. The stability in crime rates aligns with the area’s historical trends, which have consistently shown lower-than-average crime levels despite seasonal fluctuations.
