Weybourne (Waverley) Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

In November 2025, Weybourne (Waverley) recorded 37 crimes across a population of 11,678, equating to a crime rate of 3.2 per 1,000 residents. This figure is 56.2% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000, placing the area among the safer built-up regions in the country. The most common crime category was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 51.4% of all reported incidents (19 cases), followed by shoplifting (8.1%) and vehicle crime (8.1%). These patterns are consistent with the area’s character as a small, likely suburban or semi-rural built-up area, where violent crime may be influenced by local dynamics such as the absence of large-scale commercial or industrial activity. Seasonal factors in November, including the dark evenings of Bonfire Night and the shopping rush of Black Friday, may have contributed to the prevalence of violent offences and shoplifting. The area’s violent crime rate (1.6 per 1,000) was 38% below the UK average, suggesting a combination of effective policing, community cohesion, or environmental design that discourages such incidents. However, the sharp rise in 'other crime' (from zero to three cases) and burglary (from zero to three) highlights the need for vigilance in areas where these crimes typically occur, such as residential zones or locations with limited surveillance. The overall crime rate remains low, but the specific increases in certain categories may warrant closer attention from local authorities and residents.

The most significant change was a 100% increase in drug-related offences, rising from one to two incidents, and a similar surge in other crime (from zero to three) and burglary (from zero to three). This contrasted with an 80% reduction in anti-social behaviour and public order offences, both dropping from five to one. These fluctuations may be influenced by seasonal factors, such as the shorter evenings associated with November, which could limit opportunities for certain types of crime. Additionally, the area’s violent crime rate—1.6 per 1,000 residents—was 38% below the UK average for this category, a stark contrast to the 87% increase in 'other crime' compared to the UK’s 0.2 per 1,000. For residents, the most relevant insight is the sharp rise in drug-related offences, which may signal a need for increased awareness or community engagement in this area. This highlights the importance of monitoring emerging trends, even in areas with generally low crime rates.
