Tilbury Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Tilbury’s crime rate in June 2025 reached 12.0 per 1,000 residents, placing it 48.1% above the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. This stark deviation from national norms underscores the area’s unique challenges in crime prevention. The most prevalent crime types were violence and sexual offences (32% of total incidents), followed by vehicle crime (19.7%) and anti-social behaviour (12.9%). These figures highlight a combination of local demographics and environmental factors. Violence and sexual offences, at 3.9 per 1,000, are 36% above the UK average, a discrepancy that may be influenced by Tilbury’s status as a built-up area within Thurrock, where population density and socio-economic dynamics could contribute to higher rates of interpersonal crime. Vehicle crime, meanwhile, is high at 549% above the UK average, reflecting the area’s infrastructure or transportation networks. The seasonal context of June—marking the start of summer—may also play a role, as increased foot traffic and tourism could inadvertently create opportunities for criminal activity. However, the absence of significant data on tourism or seasonal events means these connections must be hedged. Residents are advised to remain alert, particularly in areas where vehicle crime and robbery have seen sharp increases.

June 2025 saw a stark increase in robbery, with incidents tripling from one to three—a 200% surge. This spike, though small in absolute terms, signals a troubling trend that may reflect heightened vulnerability in certain areas or shifts in criminal activity. Concurrently, vehicle crime rose by 66.7%, climbing from 21 to 35 incidents. This category is 549% above the UK average, a disparity that may be linked to Tilbury’s proximity to major transport routes or the presence of unsecured vehicles in residential zones. Burglary also increased by 33.3%, with four incidents reported compared to three in May. While these figures remain relatively low, they suggest a growing challenge in securing properties. Anti-social behaviour and criminal damage both declined, with the former dropping by 30.3% and the latter by 25%. These decreases may be tied to increased community engagement or targeted policing efforts during the summer months. Residents are advised to remain vigilant, particularly in areas where vehicle crime and robbery have surged.

Tilbury's crime rate in June 2025 stood at 12.0 per 1,000 residents, a 3.8% decrease from the previous month’s 12.5 per 1,000. While this slight decline suggests a potential stabilisation in local crime trends, the rate remains 48.1% above the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately six reported crimes per day, highlighting the persistent presence of criminal activity. Over the course of June, one crime was reported for every 83 residents, a figure that underscores the monthly exposure residents face. When considering population context, Tilbury’s rate reflects a community where crime is concentrated compared to the national average. The slight month-on-month reduction may be attributed to seasonal factors, such as the transition from late spring to early summer, which could influence patterns of outdoor activity and policing focus. However, the overall trajectory remains concerning, particularly given the stark disparities in specific crime categories compared to UK norms.
