Tewkesbury Crime Rate April 2025 | Monthly Statistics

April 2025 marked a period of relative stability for Tewkesbury’s crime rate, which stood at 5.7 per 1,000 residents—26% below the UK average of 7.7. This performance, consistent with the previous month, reflects the area’s historical position as a low-crime locality. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 36.2% of all crimes, a category where Tewkesbury’s rate (2.1 per 1,000) was 20% below the UK average. This may be attributed to the town’s mix of historic residential areas and limited nightlife, which reduces opportunities for such crimes. Anti-social behaviour, though lower than in many urban centres, remained 5% above the UK average, a pattern consistent with Tewkesbury’s character as a commuter town with a mix of working-age residents and older demographics. Seasonal factors played a role in shaping crime patterns, with Easter-related activities potentially influencing both violent crime and anti-social behaviour. The town’s rural proximity to larger cities may also contribute to its unique balance of crime types, where property crimes remain relatively low compared to the national average. These figures, while modest, underscore the importance of maintaining community-focused policing strategies to address emerging challenges.

April 2025 saw a 200% increase in robbery cases, rising from 1 to 3 incidents. This spike, though small in absolute terms, may reflect heightened outdoor activity during the Easter period. Conversely, vehicle crime fell by 33.3%, likely tied to fewer cold-weather incidents as spring progressed. Anti-social behaviour remained 5% above the UK average, a persistent challenge in Tewkesbury’s town centre. Violence and sexual offences dropped by 9.1%, possibly linked to increased community engagement during the Easter holidays. Other theft rose sharply by 69.2%, suggesting a need for targeted prevention efforts in high-traffic areas. These shifts illustrate a combination of seasonal patterns and local policing effectiveness, with some categories aligning closely with national trends while others deviate significantly.

Tewkesbury’s crime rate remained stable in April 2025, matching the previous month’s rate of 5.7 per 1,000 residents. This consistency suggests no significant shift in overall safety, though localized changes in specific crime types warrant closer attention. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately 19 crimes per day, a figure that, while low, reflects the town’s relatively small population and rural character. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 176 residents, a monthly exposure rate that underscores the area’s comparative safety. When scaled to Tewkesbury’s population of 101,949, this translates to a manageable burden on local policing resources. The stability contrasts with some UK regions where seasonal fluctuations are more pronounced, though Tewkesbury’s unique mix of historic landmarks and suburban sprawl likely contributes to its distinct crime profile. These figures, while modest, remain a useful benchmark for residents and local authorities to monitor trends.
