Camberley Crime Rate October 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Camberley’s crime rate in October 2025 was 5.2 per 1,000 residents, placing it 32.5% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. This performance underscores the area’s position as a relatively safe built-up region within Surrey Heath, a commuter belt suburb with a mix of residential and retail zones. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 36.2% of all reported crimes, followed by anti-social behaviour (17.0%) and public order offences (14.4%). The dominance of violent crime contrasts with the UK average, where such offences constitute 29% of total crimes, suggesting Camberley’s unique demographic or environmental factors—perhaps linked to its proximity to larger urban centres or seasonal patterns—may influence this trend. October’s seasonal context, with darker evenings and Halloween, likely contributed to the 32% increase in public order offences above the UK average, as lower visibility and increased social gatherings can amplify disorderly conduct. Meanwhile, shoplifting, typically a concern in high-footfall areas, fell sharply by 37% below the UK average, reflecting the effectiveness of local retail security measures or a temporary lull in opportunistic theft. These figures illustrate a community where violent crime remains a focal point, yet property-related offences are consistently suppressed, aligning with Camberley’s character as a well-managed suburban area with strong community policing.

October saw notable shifts in Camberley’s crime profile. Possession of weapons surged by 200%, rising from one to three incidents—a spike that may reflect increased vigilance during Halloween or seasonal fluctuations in illegal activity. Conversely, shoplifting fell by 46.4%, aligning with broader trends of reduced retail theft in areas with robust CCTV coverage and community engagement. Public order offences. of total crimes, were 32% above the UK average, a discrepancy that could stem from Camberley’s proximity to transport hubs and the associated transient population. The decline in drugs-related crimes—halved from six to three—suggests potential success in local drug education campaigns or improved law enforcement focus. These shifts highlight the dynamic interplay between local initiatives and national crime trends, offering residents tangible indicators of safety improvements in specific categories.

Camberley's crime rate in October 2025 fell to 5.2 per 1,000 residents, a 14.1% drop from the previous month’s 6.0 per 1,000. This decline aligns with broader seasonal patterns observed in similar built-up areas of Surrey, where reduced daylight hours and the transition from autumn to winter often correlate with lower reported crime. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately six crimes per day, a figure that, while modest, reflects the persistent presence of low-level incidents in a residential and commercial hub. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 194 residents, a monthly exposure rate that remains well below the UK average when scaled to Camberley’s population of 36,429. This statistic suggests that the area’s infrastructure—such as its mixed-use retail corridors and community policing initiatives—may contribute to maintaining lower crime levels. The population-scaled perspective further underscores that Camberley’s residents face a crime risk significantly lower than the national average, a consistency that has persisted across multiple months in recent years.
