Farncombe Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Farncombe's crime rate for November 2025 stood at 3.1 per 1,000 residents, a figure 57.5% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. This marked improvement underscores a broader trend in the built-up area's safety profile, particularly in categories like violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 46% of all crimes reported. The data reveals a balanced distribution between property and violent crimes, with 17 incidents each, though the former remains lower than UK averages. Seasonal factors appear to influence patterns: the transition into darker evenings, coupled with Bonfire Night and Black Friday shopping, may have contributed to increased retail-related offences, yet these remain well below national levels. The area's crime picture is shaped by its character as a built-up part of Waverley, where community engagement and local policing likely play a role in maintaining low rates. Violence and sexual offences, though the most common category, are 46% below the UK average, suggesting effective local interventions or demographic factors that reduce conflict. Meanwhile, criminal damage and arson, at 0.3 per 1,000, are 43% below the UK average, a trend that may reflect the area's lower exposure to industrial or high-risk environments. These figures illustrate a community where crime is not only less frequent but also significantly less severe than the national average, though the month's specific events may have introduced temporary fluctuations in certain categories.

November saw notable decreases in public order offences, which fell by 66.7% compared to the previous month, likely linked to reduced outdoor activity as evenings grew darker. Conversely, shoplifting increased by 100% (0 to 3 cases), possibly influenced by Black Friday shopping patterns, though the overall rate remains well below the UK average of 0.6 per 1,000. Other theft also dropped by 40%, a decline that may reflect heightened awareness during the festive season. Violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 46% of all crimes, remained 46% below the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000, highlighting a persistent trend in this category. Residents may find the 100% increase in shoplifting cases particularly noteworthy, suggesting a need for continued vigilance during peak retail periods.

Farncombe's crime rate remained stable in November 2025, matching the previous month's figure of 3.1 per 1,000 residents. This consistency suggests no significant shift in overall safety. On a daily basis, the area experienced roughly one crime per day over the 30-day period, a figure that aligns with the area's low overall rate. When scaled to the population, the monthly exposure equates to one reported crime for every 321 residents, a ratio that places Farncombe firmly in the safer end of the UK spectrum. This translates to a lived experience where, for most residents, crime is not an immediate concern but remains a topic of local discussion, particularly around seasonal events. The population context—11,862 residents—means that even small fluctuations in crime numbers can be amplified in public perception, though the data shows no such spikes this month.
