Royal Leamington Spa Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

In June 2025, Royal Leamington Spa recorded 391 crimes, translating to a crime rate of 7.9 per 1,000 residents—2.5% below the UK average of 8.1. This figure, contextualized by the town’s population of 49,421, represents a manageable level of criminal activity for a mid-sized built-up area within Warwick. The most common crimes were violence and sexual offences (29.7% of total), followed by anti-social behaviour (22.8%) and vehicle crime (12.3%). These patterns align with the area’s character as a historic spa town with a mix of residential, retail, and cultural spaces. The seasonal context of June, marking the beginning of summer, may have influenced some trends, such as increased foot traffic in public areas, though the relatively low rate of theft from the person (0.1 per 1,000) suggests that local security measures or community vigilance may be effective. Violence and sexual offences, while still the largest category, are 16% below the UK average, reflecting the town’s lower population density compared to larger urban centres. Vehicle crime, however, stands out as significantly higher than the national average, linked to the presence of older infrastructure and limited parking capacity in the town centre. These findings illustrate the combination of local geography and demographics in shaping crime patterns, with opportunities for targeted interventions to address specific areas of concern.

June 2025 saw significant fluctuations in specific crime categories, with theft from the person jumping by 300% (from 1 to 4 incidents) and burglary doubling (from 7 to 14). These increases, though notable, contrast with sharp declines in other areas, such as a 55.6% reduction in possession of weapons (from 9 to 4). The breakdown of crime types reveals a stark divergence from national trends: vehicle crime in the area is 170% above the UK average, likely linked to the town’s historical infrastructure and traffic patterns. Meanwhile, violence and sexual offences remain the most prevalent category, accounting for 29.7% of all crimes, though they are 16% below the UK average. This mix of above- and below-average performance highlights the need for targeted interventions. For residents, the 300% rise in theft from the person underscores the importance of personal security measures, especially in high-foot-traffic areas during the summer season.

Royal Leamington Spa’s crime rate in June 2025 (7.9 per 1,000) marked an 8.9% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 8.7 per 1,000. This drop aligns with the seasonal shift toward summer, when tourism in nearby areas may reduce local foot traffic, though the town itself remains a hub for residents and visitors. On a daily basis, 13 crimes were reported in June, a figure that translates to roughly one crime for every 126 residents over the course of the month. This monthly exposure rate, while slightly lower than the prior month, still reflects the area’s position as a mid-sized town with a mix of urban and suburban characteristics. When compared to the UK average, the 2.5% reduction in crime rate underscores a trend of relative stability, though local factors such as community initiatives or seasonal patterns may contribute to this decline. The population-scaled perspective reveals that while the absolute number of crimes is manageable, targeted efforts to address specific categories—such as vehicle crime, which is 170% above the UK average—could further improve the area’s safety profile.
