Farncombe Crime Rate October 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Farncombe's crime rate in October 2025 stood at 3.1 per 1,000 residents, placing it 59.7% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. This marked disparity highlights the area's distinct crime profile, shaped by its built-up character within Waverley. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 43.2% of all reported crimes, followed by anti-social behaviour at 18.9% and other theft at 13.5%. These figures illustrate a pattern where property-related crimes are less prevalent than violent incidents, a contrast to the national trend where property crimes often dominate. Seasonal factors in October—such as the transition to darker evenings, the clocks going back, and the approach of Halloween—may have influenced local dynamics. The low rate of vehicle crime, 76% below the UK average, suggests effective parking management or community vigilance in this built-up area. While the overall rate remains significantly below the national benchmark, the prominence of violence and sexual offences indicates a need for targeted interventions. The monthly data also reveals a notable absence of major theft or burglary incidents, consistent with Farncombe's relatively low crime environment. These patterns align with the characteristics of smaller built-up areas, where community cohesion and local policing can exert a strong influence on crime rates.

October 2025 saw a 400% increase in other theft incidents, rising from one to five cases. This surge, while notable, contrasts with a 41.7% decrease in anti-social behaviour, which fell from 12 to seven incidents. Vehicle crime also doubled from zero to one reported case, marking a 100% increase. These shifts highlight a combination of local factors and seasonal patterns, with Halloween and darker evenings potentially influencing theft trends. Violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 43.2% of all crimes, remained 47% below the UK average. This disparity underscores the area's unique profile, where community cohesion and policing efforts may mitigate violent incidents. The 50% rise in public order offences, from two to three cases, suggests localized tensions that warrant further analysis in conjunction with broader seasonal trends.

Farncombe's crime rate in October 2025 dropped by 21.2% compared to the previous month, falling from 4.0 to 3.1 per 1,000 residents. This decline aligns with a broader trend observed in built-up areas within Waverley, where seasonal transitions and local policing strategies may contribute to reduced incidents. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately one reported crime per day over the 31-day period, reflecting a low-frequency pattern consistent with Farncombe's built-up character. When viewed through a population-scaled lens, the monthly exposure to crime amounted to one reported incident for every 321 residents. This figure underscores the relatively low risk profile of the area, particularly when compared to national averages. The population of 11,862 residents further contextualises these figures, highlighting the impact of community density and localised factors on crime dynamics.
