Frimley Crime Rate February 2026 | Monthly Statistics

In February 2026, Frimley recorded a crime rate of 4.6 per 1,000 residents, placing it 28.1% below the UK average of 6.4 per 1,000. This rate translates to a daily risk of approximately 3 crimes per day, or one reported incident for every 219 residents over the course of the month. The area’s crime profile is dominated by violent and sexual offences, which accounted for 47.9% of all reported crimes — a significant share, though the rate for this category (2.2 per 1,000) remains 5% below the UK average. Seasonal factors appear to have influenced the pattern, as February’s low outdoor activity and pre-spring lull align with a slight shift in crime dynamics. Despite the overall lower rate, certain categories deviate from national trends: criminal damage and arson (0.6 per 1,000) are 30% above the UK average, possibly linked to localised property vulnerabilities or environmental factors. Meanwhile, anti-social behaviour (0.5 per 1,000) is 45% below the UK rate, suggesting effective community policing or strong social cohesion in the area. The data also reveals a stark contrast between property and violent crime trends, with the latter comprising nearly half of all incidents, a proportion higher than the UK average. This may reflect the built-up nature of Frimley, where higher population density and mixed-use zoning could contribute to a greater incidence of interpersonal conflicts. However, the overall crime rate remains significantly lower than the national average, indicating that the area’s suburban character and targeted local initiatives may be contributing to a safer environment. The seasonal context of February — a month marked by colder weather and reduced outdoor activity — may have also played a role in shaping the crime mix, with violent incidents persisting despite the pre-spring lull. This pattern is consistent with observations in similar built-up areas, where indoor spaces and residential zones become focal points for crime during winter months.

February 2026 saw a sharp rise in ‘other crime’ incidents, tripling from 1 to 4 cases — a 300% increase — which may reflect unclassified or emerging criminal activity patterns. Burglary and bicycle theft both doubled, with one incident each, suggesting potential vulnerabilities in residential security or local infrastructure. Conversely, other theft and drug-related crimes fell significantly, with the latter dropping by 75% (from 4 to 1 cases). This contrast highlights a shifting crime mix, where property-related offences (34%) now account for a smaller share than violent crimes (48%). Criminal damage and arson in Frimley (0.6 per 1,000) exceeded the UK average by 30%, while anti-social behaviour (0.5 per 1,000) remained 45% below the national rate. These disparities may stem from local factors such as community engagement initiatives or the area’s built-up nature, which could influence both the prevalence and reporting of certain offences.

Frimley’s crime rate in February 2026 rose 9.4% compared to January’s 4.2 per 1,000, reflecting a slight uptick in reported incidents. While the monthly rate remains 28.1% below the UK average, the increase underscores the need for vigilance during this period. On a daily basis, the area experiences roughly 3 crimes per day, a figure that translates to a local context of one reported crime for every 219 residents over the course of the month. This monthly exposure metric provides a tangible sense of risk for residents, though it does not account for variations in population density or localised hotspots. The rate of increase, though modest, aligns with broader seasonal patterns observed in similar built-up areas during late winter, where colder weather and reduced outdoor activity may temporarily shift crime dynamics toward indoor spaces or targeted incidents. This context is critical for understanding how the rate interacts with the area’s character as a suburban hub with mixed residential and commercial zones.
