Weybourne (Waverley) maintained a crime rate of 3.5 per 1,000 residents in September 2024, placing it 54.5% below the UK average of 7.7.

The top crime types were anti-social behaviour (43.9% of all incidents), violence and sexual offences (36.6%), and vehicle crime (9.8%). Anti-social behaviour, which rose sharply by 63.6%, may be linked to the return of students and increased social activity as September marks the start of the academic year. The area’s relatively low overall rate contrasts with the UK’s higher average, but specific categories like anti-social behaviour and vehicle crime show divergent trends. The drop in violence and sexual offences by 6.3% suggests some success in maintaining community safety, though the sharp increase in vehicle crime and weapons possession raises new concerns. As nights draw in and school terms begin, the local profile of crime — dominated by property-related and anti-social incidents — remains distinct from larger urban centres. This data underscores the need for targeted awareness, particularly around vehicle security and community engagement to address anti-social behaviour. The area’s low population density and rural character likely contribute to its overall safety, but the rise in certain categories indicates areas for focused attention.

Vehicle crime in Weybourne is 33% below the UK average, suggesting localised factors may be offsetting national trends.
