Tandridge Crime Rate December 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Tandridge’s December 2025 crime rate of 5.0 per 1,000 residents places it 28.6% below the UK average of 7.0, reflecting a generally safer local authority district. The most prevalent crime types were violence and sexual offences (32.2% of total), followed by anti-social behaviour (16.3%) and criminal damage and arson (12.1%). This profile contrasts with the UK average, where violence and sexual offences account for 38% of all crimes. The lower incidence of violence in Tandridge may be attributed to its character as a mixed rural-urban district with fewer densely populated areas and a strong community focus. Seasonal factors, such as the Christmas shopping peak and extended dark evenings, likely influenced patterns in property crimes. Anti-social behaviour, while lower than the UK average, still reflects the challenges of managing public spaces during the holiday season. The relatively low rates of theft from the person and bicycle theft suggest effective policing or community initiatives in place, though the 100% increase in bicycle theft highlights a vulnerability during the festive period. The data illustrates a district where crime remains below national averages but is not immune to seasonal fluctuations, requiring tailored strategies to address specific risks.

December 2025 saw notable fluctuations in specific crime categories. Bicycle theft surged by 100%, rising from 0 to 1 incident, possibly linked to increased holiday travel and unsecured vehicles. Criminal damage and arson rose by 77.4%, with 55 incidents recorded—well above the UK average of 0.5 per 1,000. This increase may be tied to seasonal factors, such as dark evenings and empty homes during the festive period. Conversely, robbery fell by 66.7%, from 3 to 1 incident, a trend consistent with reduced foot traffic and heightened security measures during the holiday season. Other theft also declined by 41.9%, reflecting improved retail security or fewer opportunities due to shorter trading hours. Violence and sexual offences, at 1.6 per 1,000, remain 38% below the UK average, suggesting a community with lower rates of interpersonal conflict compared to national trends.

Tandridge's crime rate in December 2025 remained stable at 5.0 per 1,000 residents, a 1.6% decrease from the previous month’s 5.1 per 1,000. This consistency suggests no significant shift in overall criminal activity despite seasonal factors. On a daily basis, 15 crimes were reported across the district, equating to roughly one incident for every 200 residents over the course of the month. This monthly exposure rate, while low, highlights the need for continued vigilance during periods of heightened activity, such as the Christmas shopping rush. With a population of 90,586, the area’s relatively low crime rate positions it as one of the safer local authority districts in the UK, though the slight increase in property-related crimes may warrant closer attention. The balance between property and violent crime remains distinct, with violence and sexual offences comprising 32.2% of all recorded incidents, a figure that is 38% below the UK average for this category.
