Bovey Tracey Crime Rate April 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Violent crimes dominate Bovey Tracey’s crime profile in April 2025, accounting for 50% of all reported incidents. At 2.5 per 1,000 residents, the area’s overall crime rate is 67.5% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000, reflecting a consistently low-risk environment. The breakdown reveals 7 violent and sexual offences, 2 anti-social behaviour incidents, and 2 other thefts, with the remaining crimes spread across possession of weapons and criminal damage. This pattern aligns with Bovey Tracey’s character as a small built-up area within Teignbridge, where community cohesion and low population density may naturally suppress crime. Seasonal factors in April—Easter holidays and spring weather—likely contributed to increased outdoor activity, which could explain the presence of violent crimes, though their 50% decline from March suggests effective policing or community interventions. The UK average for violent crimes is 2.6 per 1,000, but Bovey Tracey’s rate of 1.2 per 1,000 is 54% below, indicating a safer environment for residents. Anti-social behaviour and other thefts also remain well below national averages, reinforcing the area’s low crime profile. However, the 100% increase in possession of weapons—though a single incident—highlights the need for vigilance in addressing niche risks. The combination of demographic stability, proactive policing, and the area’s geographic character likely explains the persistent gap between Bovey Tracey’s crime rates and the UK average.

April 2025 saw a 50% reduction in violent crimes, from 14 to 7, marking the most significant monthly decline in this category. Anti-social behaviour and criminal damage and arson both fell by two-thirds, aligning with seasonal patterns as Easter-related activities may have shifted focus away from disruptive incidents. However, possession of weapons surged by 100%, rising from 0 to 1 incident—a stark anomaly that, while not statistically significant, warrants local scrutiny. Violent crimes in Bovey Tracey remain 54% below the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000, a gap that suggests effective community policing or low-risk demographics. The drop in violent crimes contrasts with a national trend, indicating that local factors—such as community engagement or environmental design—may contribute to this divergence. Residents may find the 50% decrease in violent crimes particularly noteworthy, as it reflects a marked improvement in public safety during a typically busy holiday period.

Bovey Tracey’s crime rate in April 2025 dropped sharply to 2.5 per 1,000 residents, a 53.3% decrease from March’s 5.3 per 1,000. This decline places the area significantly below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000, with the gap widening over recent months. Daily crime statistics reveal an average of 0 reported crimes per day in April, a figure that, while local to Bovey Tracey, underscores the area’s low-level crime environment. Over the course of the month, one crime was reported for every 408 residents, a monthly exposure rate that highlights the rarity of incidents in this community. With a population of 5,716, the low crime volume suggests that most residents experience minimal direct interaction with crime, though the 100% increase in possession of weapons—though still a single incident—raises questions about localized factors. These figures, when contextualized against the broader UK landscape, reinforce Bovey Tracey’s position as a relatively safe built-up area within Teignbridge.
