Winchcombe Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Winchcombe’s crime rate in June 2025 stood at 2.5 per 1,000 residents, a figure 69.1% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. This continued trend of low overall crime reflects the area’s character as a built-up part of Tewkesbury, where population density and community engagement may contribute to lower rates. The top crime types were burglary (30.8% of all reported crimes), other theft (23.1%), and violence and sexual offences (23.1%). While violent crime remains significantly below the UK average (79% below), property-related offences show divergent patterns. Burglary rates, for instance, are 186% above the national average, possibly linked to the area’s proximity to rural zones and seasonal changes in property use. The start of summer in June may influence crime dynamics, with increased foot traffic and tourism affecting burglary opportunities. Bicycle theft, another property-related category, also exceeded the UK average by 186%, suggesting a need for targeted awareness around securing personal belongings. These findings illustrate how local factors—such as geography, seasonality, and community structure—interact to shape crime profiles, even within areas that broadly align with national safety trends.

June 2025 saw significant increases in three crime categories: bicycle theft surged by 100% (from 0 to 1), other theft rose by 100% (from 0 to 3), and burglary increased by 33.3% (from 3 to 4). These rises contrast with a 66.7% drop in violence and sexual offences, which fell from 9 to 3. Burglary rates in Winchcombe were 186% above the UK average (0.8 vs 0.3 per 1,000), highlighting a localised issue despite the area’s overall low crime rate. Bicycle theft also exceeded the UK average by 186% (0.2 vs 0.1 per 1,000), suggesting vulnerabilities in securing personal property during the summer months. Residents should remain vigilant in securing bicycles and homes, particularly as tourism and summer activity increase.

Winchcombe's crime rate in June 2025 dropped to 2.5 per 1,000 residents, a 48.0% decrease from the previous month’s 4.7 per 1,000. This decline aligns with the seasonal shift into summer, when local activity patterns may reduce opportunities for certain crimes. On a daily basis, the area recorded roughly zero crimes per day, reflecting the low overall rate. Over the course of June, one reported crime occurred for every 408 residents, illustrating the relatively low exposure compared to larger urban centres. While the overall rate remains well below the UK average, specific categories like burglary and bicycle theft show marked deviations. The population context underscores that Winchcombe’s small size and built-up character contribute to its distinct crime profile, where even minor fluctuations in specific categories can have outsized impacts on local statistics.
