The figures

Source: CrimeRate, from police.uk data, 12 months to April 2026. Rates use Census 2021 populations for Sandhurst and Crowthorne parishes and the Camberley built-up area (method). Camberley is in Surrey. For your own street, search your postcode on police.uk.

On a different measure, police.uk shows 35 vehicle crimes within a mile of central Sandhurst over the same 12 months, May 2025 to April 2026. A one-mile circle doesn't follow the parish boundary, so it isn't the same as the parish figure.

What it means for you

A low rate doesn't mean no risk. Relay thieves don't pick towns, they pick cars. If your car is keyless and lives on the drive, it's still worth protecting.
