Sutton Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Sutton’s crime rate for November 2025 stood at 6.7 per 1,000 residents, placing it 8.2% below the UK average of 7.3. This performance highlights the area’s relative safety compared to the national picture. Violence and sexual offences were the most prevalent category, accounting for 33.5% of all reported crimes, followed by anti-social behaviour (16.5%) and vehicle crime (8.6%). The rate of violence and sexual offences in Sutton (2.2 per 1,000) was 14% below the UK average, suggesting potential success in targeted interventions or community policing efforts. However, anti-social behaviour and vehicle crime showed mixed results, with the latter exceeding the UK average by 50%. The seasonal context of November—marked by Bonfire Night, Black Friday shopping, and darker evenings—likely influenced patterns, as increased foot traffic and reduced visibility may contribute to higher vehicle-related incidents. The area’s crime profile reflects a balance between urban and suburban dynamics, with local initiatives possibly mitigating some risks. The drop in bicycle theft (50.0%) and robbery (25.9%) indicates some success in addressing specific crime types, though the rise in burglary and vehicle crime underscores ongoing areas for improvement.

November saw a 27.1% increase in vehicle crime, rising from 96 to 122 incidents. This jump aligns with seasonal patterns, such as the surge in Black Friday shopping and the potential for increased vehicle theft during the month. Conversely, bicycle theft fell by 50.0%, dropping from 8 to 4 incidents, possibly linked to shorter daylight hours deterring outdoor activity. Burglary also rose by 24.5%, with 66 incidents reported compared to 53 in October, which may reflect increased home occupancy during the holiday season. Violence and sexual offences remained the most common crime category at 33.5% of the total, significantly below the UK average for this category (2.6 per 1,000 vs 2.2 per 1,000). This discrepancy could indicate a more effective local response to violent crime, though further analysis is needed to confirm.

Sutton's crime rate for November 2025 remained stable at 6.7 per 1,000 residents, a -1.2% decrease from the previous month’s 6.8. This consistency suggests no major shifts in overall criminal activity despite seasonal factors. On a daily basis, 47 crimes were reported across the built-up area, translating to roughly one crime for every 149 residents over the course of the month. While this figure is a local metric and not directly comparable to national averages, it provides a tangible sense of monthly exposure. The population-scaled perspective reveals that Sutton’s rate is lower than the UK average, with its crime profile reflecting a mix of localised challenges and effective policing strategies. The stability in the rate, combined with the area’s demographic mix, likely contributes to a balance between urban and suburban crime dynamics.
