Farncombe Crime Rate July 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Farncombe's crime rate in July 2025 stood at 4.6 per 1,000 residents, placing the area 46.5% below the UK average of 8.6 per 1,000. This consistent safety margin, despite a 27.8% month-on-month increase, underscores the built-up area's relative security. The most prevalent crime type was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 43.6% of all incidents (24 cases), followed by anti-social behaviour (21.8%, 12 cases) and criminal damage and arson (18.2%, 10 cases). These figures align with seasonal patterns, as July—peak summer—typically sees higher foot traffic and outdoor activity in Waverley's built-up areas, which may contribute to both violent and property-related offences. The area's low rates of theft from the person and vehicle crime (both 0.2 per 1,000) suggest effective community policing or environmental design measures, though the sharp rise in criminal damage and arson raises questions about potential links to summer festivals or public events. The balance between violent and property crime remains skewed, with violent offences dominating the crime mix, a trend that may reflect Farncombe's demographic profile or the influence of nearby attractions drawing transient populations.

July 2025 marked a dramatic shift in Farncombe's crime profile, with criminal damage and arson surging by 100% compared to June. This spike, from 5 to 10 incidents, was matched by similar increases in other theft (+100%) and vehicle crime (+100%), suggesting a possible seasonal or event-driven factor. In contrast, other crime categories saw sharp declines, with other crime falling by 80% and public order offences dropping by 50%, indicating a potential reallocation of resources or changing community dynamics. The area's violent crime rate of 2.0 per 1,000—34% below the UK average—remains a standout feature, though the rise in property-related offences highlights a new challenge. For residents, the doubling of criminal damage incidents is a concrete indicator that local infrastructure or public spaces may require closer attention during peak summer periods.

Farncombe's crime rate in July 2025 rose 27.8% compared to June, reflecting a shift in crime patterns. The daily crime count averaged 2 incidents per day, a figure that contextualises the pace of activity in the built-up area. Over the course of the month, one crime occurred for every 216 residents, a statistic that underscores the relative safety of the community compared to broader UK trends. This monthly exposure metric, while low, is influenced by the area's population size and the distribution of crime across different categories. The rise in overall crime rate contrasts with Farncombe's consistent position below the UK average, which suggests that local factors—such as seasonal events or community initiatives—may be playing a role in shaping these figures. Comparing this month's data to June reveals a nuanced picture: while violent crime remained stable, property-related offences saw notable fluctuations. These changes, when viewed alongside the daily and monthly exposure metrics, highlight the importance of ongoing monitoring to identify emerging trends.
