Camberley Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Camberley's crime profile in November 2025 reveals a distinct balance of violent and property crimes, shaped by seasonal factors and local characteristics. At 5.9 crimes per 1,000 residents, the area's crime rate is 19.2% below the UK average, reflecting the influence of its built-up, commuter-focused environment within Surrey Heath. Violence and sexual offences dominate the crime mix, accounting for 38% of all incidents, a figure that aligns with patterns seen in suburban areas where social interactions and limited public lighting during dark evenings may contribute to higher reports of such crimes. Anti-social behaviour, the second most common category at 14.1%, remains 25% below the UK average, possibly due to effective local policing strategies or the area's relatively stable community structure. The seasonal context of November—marked by Bonfire Night, Black Friday, and reduced daylight—appears to have influenced crime dynamics, with public order offences rising 28% above the national average. This suggests that the convergence of holiday events and darker evenings may create conditions conducive to disorderly conduct. Meanwhile, property crimes such as shoplifting and burglary remain below UK averages, with shoplifting at 37% below the national rate, reflecting the area's lower retail density compared to major urban centres. The overall profile indicates a mix of proactive community engagement and environmental factors that contribute to Camberley's comparatively low crime rates, even as seasonal pressures introduce localized spikes in specific categories.

November 2025 saw a 200% increase in robbery incidents, rising from one to three cases. This sharp rise, though still low in absolute terms, suggests a potential shift in criminal activity patterns, possibly linked to Black Friday shopping or the timing of Bonfire Night events. Anti-social behaviour remained 25% below the UK average, with 30 incidents reported, while public order offences rose by 28% above the national average at 21 cases. The decrease in vehicle crime by 33.3%—from six to four incidents—may be attributed to reduced outdoor activity during colder evenings. The rate of violence and sexual offences (2.2 per 1,000) was 14% below the UK average, a contrast to the 13% increase in criminal damage and arson, which exceeded the national average by 13%. These shifts underscore the combination of seasonal factors and local demographics in shaping crime trends.

Camberley's crime rate in November 2025 rose by 13.4% compared to the previous month, moving from 5.2 to 5.9 crimes per 1,000 residents. This increase, though modest, reflects a shift in crime patterns typical of late autumn. On average, the area recorded seven crimes per day, a figure that contextualises the scale of activity within Camberley's built-up environment. Over the course of the month, one crime occurred for every 171 residents, a metric that highlights the relatively low frequency of incidents compared to larger urban centres. This monthly exposure figure, when considered alongside the population of 36,429, illustrates that the vast majority of residents are not directly affected by crime on a daily basis. The rise in violent crime, particularly in the context of darker evenings, may align with seasonal trends observed in similar commuter belt suburbs where reduced visibility and increased social activity during Bonfire Night contribute to higher reports of anti-social behaviour and violence.
