Warlingham Crime Rate May 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Warlingham's crime rate in May 2025 stood at 4.0 per 1,000 residents, placing it 50.6% below the UK average of 8.1. This stark contrast underscores the area's generally low crime profile, which may be influenced by its character as a built-up area within Tandridge, where community engagement and infrastructure likely contribute to deterrence. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 39.4% of all crimes, with 13 incidents recorded, but their rate of 1.6 per 1,000 remains 43% below the UK average. This suggests that while violent crime persists, its prevalence is significantly lower than national trends, possibly due to the area's demographic composition or policing strategies. Property crimes, including burglary and vehicle crime, represented 48.5% of total incidents, though vehicle crime's rate of 0.7 per 1,000—75% above the UK average—emerges as a notable outlier. The seasonal context of May, with longer evenings and increased outdoor socialising, may have contributed to the slight rise in violence and sexual offences, consistent with patterns observed in similar suburban areas during peak social hours. However, the overall decline in crime compared to the UK average indicates that Warlingham's environment, whether through socioeconomic factors or targeted interventions, continues to mitigate criminal activity effectively.

May 2025 saw a 50% increase in vehicle crime, rising from 4 to 6 incidents, with a rate of 0.7 per 1,000 residents—75% above the UK average of 0.4. This spike contrasts with a 33.3% drop in burglary, which fell from 6 to 4 incidents. Other crime also surged by 100%, with two reported incidents, suggesting a shift in criminal focus toward less severe categories. Violence and sexual offences rose slightly by 8.3%.6 per 1,000 remains 43% below the UK average. Anti-social behaviour decreased by 37.5%, possibly linked to the end of school holidays or seasonal changes in community activity. These fluctuations highlight the dynamic nature of crime patterns in a built-up area, where local factors such as traffic density or temporary events may influence specific categories.

Warlingham's crime rate in May 2025 fell to 4.0 per 1,000 residents, a 35.3% decline from April's 6.2 per 1,000. This drop aligns with the area's generally low crime profile compared to the UK average. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 248 residents, a figure that contextualises the scale of incidents for local residents. Daily crime statistics show an average of one incident per day, a rate that reflects the area's character as a built-up area within Tandridge, where community cohesion and policing presence likely contribute to sustained low levels of serious crime. The population-scaled perspective reveals that even with the 50.6% reduction from the UK average, Warlingham's residents experience crime at a rate significantly lower than national trends, suggesting effective local crime prevention measures or environmental factors that deter criminal activity.
