West End and Chobham Crime Rate April 2025 | Monthly Statistics

West End and Chobham’s crime rate in April 2025 was 4.7 per 1,000 residents, placing it 39% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. This figure reflects a built-up area within Surrey Heath, where crime patterns may be shaped by its semi-rural location and proximity to larger urban centres. The most common category of crime was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 29.8% of all incidents, though this rate was 46% below the UK average for the same category. Anti-social behaviour followed closely, contributing 17% of total crimes, and was 40% below the national average. Seasonal factors, including the Easter period and increased outdoor activity during spring, may have influenced these patterns. The lower-than-average rates for violence and anti-social behaviour could indicate the area’s relatively stable community dynamics or the effectiveness of local policing strategies. However, the spike in vehicle crime and public order offences suggests that certain pockets of the area may be experiencing temporary disruptions. The overall profile illustrates a generally low-crime environment, with notable exceptions that warrant closer attention in the coming months.

April 2025 saw a 400% surge in vehicle crime, jumping from 1 to 5 incidents. This spike may be linked to increased Easter-related traffic or temporary disruptions in parking patterns. Concurrently, public order offences doubled to 6, potentially reflecting heightened outdoor activity during spring. Violent crime decreased by 22.2%, from 18 to 14 incidents, maintaining its position as the most common category but still 46% below the UK average for violence and sexual offences. Other theft plummeted by 76.9%, from 13 to 3, a drop that may indicate improved security measures or seasonal shifts in criminal activity. Burglary also fell by 50%, from 6 to 3, though it remained 11% above the UK average. The sharp rise in possession of weapons, doubling from 0 to 1 incident, highlights an isolated but concerning trend requiring further monitoring.

The crime rate in West End and Chobham for April 2025 stood at 4.7 per 1,000 residents, marking a 7.9% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 5.1 per 1,000. This decline aligns with a broader trend of reduced crime activity observed in the area during the spring season. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately 2 crimes per day over the month, a figure that contextualises the pace of incidents for residents. Over the course of April, one reported crime occurred for every 214 residents, a monthly aggregate that underscores the relatively low frequency of incidents in this built-up area. With a population of 10,069, the rate remains significantly below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000, reflecting a safer environment compared to national benchmarks. This lower exposure to crime may be influenced by the area’s characteristics, such as lower population density or community-focused policing efforts, though such factors remain speculative without further data.
