Chadwell St Mary Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For an area of 10,614 residents, Chadwell St Mary recorded 77 crimes in November 2025—a rate of 7.3 per 1,000, precisely matching the UK average. This figure translates to one reported crime for every 138 residents over the course of the month, a statistic that underscores the area’s relatively low crime density despite its built-up nature within Thurrock. The breakdown reveals a stark contrast between violent and property crimes: 31 incidents of violence and sexual offences (40.3% of total) and 25 property crimes (32.5%) dominated the month. The dominance of violent crime, which was 13% above the UK average, may be influenced by the area’s proximity to larger urban centres, where social interactions and community dynamics can amplify such incidents. Seasonal factors also played a role, with Bonfire Night and the onset of darker evenings potentially contributing to increased aggression and alcohol-related incidents. Meanwhile, anti-social behaviour, at 9 incidents (11.7% of total), was 15% below the UK average, reflecting effective local policing or community initiatives. Vehicle crime, which surged to eight incidents (10.4% of total)—100% above the UK average—could be linked to the Black Friday shopping period, when car parks and retail areas see heightened activity. The overall crime rate, while aligned with national figures, highlights the need for targeted interventions in specific categories, such as violence and vehicle-related offences, which are elevated in this area.

November saw a 200% increase in possession of weapons, with three incidents reported—up from one in October. This spike, though small in absolute terms, may reflect heightened tensions during Bonfire Night or other seasonal events. Vehicle crime doubled to eight incidents, potentially linked to increased car thefts around Black Friday shopping or the darker evenings limiting visibility. Conversely, criminal damage and arson fell by 46.7%, due to reduced outdoor activity or targeted community efforts. The area’s violent crime rate was 13% above the UK average, with 31 incidents reported, while anti-social behaviour fell 30.8% to nine cases. This contrast highlights the combination of local dynamics and broader trends, with shoplifting dropping 84% below the UK average to just one incident—a figure that may indicate improved retail security measures or reduced foot traffic during the month.

Chadwell St Mary's crime rate in November 2025 dropped by 8.3% compared to the previous month, falling from 7.9 to 7.3 per 1,000 residents. This decline aligns with seasonal patterns, as November's darker evenings and reduced outdoor activity may have dampened opportunities for certain crimes. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately three crimes each day, a figure that reflects the built-up nature of the community and its proximity to larger urban centres. Over the course of the month, one crime was reported for every 138 residents, a ratio that underscores the relatively low overall crime rate compared to larger cities but highlights the need for continued vigilance. The population of 10,614 means that each resident faces a 0.073% chance of being a victim in any given month, a figure that contextualises the local risk within a broader demographic framework. While the rate matches the UK average, the distribution of crime types—such as the sharp rise in vehicle crime—suggests unique local pressures that warrant closer attention.
