Frimley Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Frimley's crime rate in November 2025 stood at 5.5 per 1,000 residents, placing it 24.7% below the UK average of 7.3. This performance highlights the area's consistent safety profile, though the crime mix reveals nuanced patterns. Violence and sexual offences dominated, accounting for 40.7% of all reported incidents, but these figures remained 11% below the UK average. This contrast with the 13% increase in criminal damage and arson, which outpaced national rates, suggests a divergence in local crime dynamics. The seasonal context of November—marked by Bonfire Night, Black Friday, and shorter daylight hours—may have influenced these trends. For instance, the spike in criminal damage could align with increased outdoor activity around fireworks events, while the relatively low levels of shoplifting (37% below the UK average) may reflect the area's retail environment. Anti-social behaviour, at 10.5 per 1,000, was 43% below the UK average, consistent with Frimley's suburban character and likely community-focused policing strategies. The balance between property and violent crime also shifted slightly, with property crimes making up 35% of the total (30 incidents) compared to 40.7% for violent crimes. This suggests a combination of local demographics and seasonal pressures, though the overall low rate reinforces Frimley's status as a safer built-up area within Surrey Heath.

November 2025 saw a sharp 300% increase in drug-related crimes, rising from 1 to 4 incidents. This surge, though small in absolute terms, contrasts with an 83.3% drop in vehicle crime, which fell from 6 to 1. The shift in crime mix also includes a 100% rise in robbery and theft from the person, both moving from zero to one incident each. These changes suggest a temporary reallocation of criminal activity, possibly linked to seasonal factors such as Bonfire Night or Black Friday shopping. Criminal damage and arson remained 13% above the UK average, with 10 incidents reported. This category's elevated rate, despite an overall decline in property crime, may indicate targeted acts tied to local amenities or seasonal events. Meanwhile, anti-social behaviour fell 43% below the UK average, a trend consistent with Frimley's generally low levels of public disorder. For residents, the 300% increase in drug-related crimes serves as a specific alert to monitor local hotspots.

Frimley's crime rate in November 2025 rose by 10.2% compared to October's 5.0 per 1,000, reaching 5.5 per 1,000. This increase, though modest, reflects a shift in the crime mix. On a daily basis, the area recorded roughly 3 crimes per day over the 30-day period, a figure that contextualises the pace of incidents for residents. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 181 residents, a monthly exposure rate that underscores the relatively low density of incidents compared to the UK average. With a population of 15,576, this suggests that most residents are unlikely to directly encounter crime, though localised spikes in specific categories may affect certain neighbourhoods. The population context further highlights that Frimley's per-capita crime rate remains 24.7% below the UK average, reinforcing its position as a comparatively safer built-up area within Surrey Heath. This contrast with national trends may be attributed to the area's suburban character, where community cohesion and lower population density tend to reduce opportunities for certain types of crime.
