Camberley Crime Rate July 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For Camberley's population of 36,429 residents, 237 crimes were recorded in July 2025, translating to a crime rate of 6.5 per 1,000 people. This rate is 24.4% below the UK average of 8.6 per 1,000, highlighting Camberley's relatively lower crime profile compared to the national context. The most common crimes were violence and sexual offences (39.2% of total), followed by anti-social behaviour (17.3%) and public order offences (10.6%). This mix aligns with the area's character as a built-up district within Surrey Heath, where summer events and festivals may contribute to higher reports of public order issues. The seasonal context of July—peak summer, schools out, and tourism activity—likely influences patterns, with violence and anti-social behaviour often rising during such periods. However, the data also shows Camberley's rates for specific categories like drug offences and burglary are significantly below UK averages, suggesting effective local policing or community factors that mitigate certain crime types. The overall picture reflects a balance between routine urban challenges and the area's ability to maintain a crime rate well below the national benchmark.

July 2025 saw a 9.2% increase in Camberley's overall crime rate compared to June, moving from 6.0 to 6.5 per 1,000 residents. This rise was driven by sharp increases in drug-related crimes (+900%), burglary (+150%), and possession of weapons (+100%), which may reflect seasonal shifts in activity or targeted enforcement efforts. Conversely, vehicle crime fell by 63.6% (11 to 4), and public order offences decreased by 13.8% (29 to 25), possibly due to successful interventions or reduced foot traffic during certain periods. Camberley's violent crime rate (2.6 per 1,000) is 14% below the UK average, while anti-social behaviour (1.1 per 1,000) is 29% below, suggesting the area's community dynamics or policing strategies are effective in curbing these types. However, public order offences (0.7 per 1,000) are 9% above the UK average, indicating a potential need for targeted measures in specific locations during summer events. Residents might find the 900% surge in drug-related crimes particularly concerning, as it represents a dramatic shift from the previous month's single reported case.

Camberley's July 2025 crime rate of 6.5 per 1,000 residents marks a 9.2% increase from June's 6.0, though it remains significantly below the UK average. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately 8 crimes per day, a figure that, while modest, reflects the impact of seasonal activity. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 154 residents, illustrating that the likelihood of experiencing crime is relatively low compared to the national context. This monthly exposure rate is particularly notable when considering Camberley's population size, as the area's crime rate is 24.4% below the UK average despite the rise from June. The population-scaled perspective highlights that Camberley's residents face a lower risk of victimisation than the average UK citizen. increase from the previous month suggests ongoing vigilance is needed. The combination of a low overall rate and specific category disparities—such as drug-related crimes being 100% below the UK average—demonstrates the area's unique crime profile, shaped by local factors like policing, community engagement, and the seasonal rhythm of summer events.
