The last quarter of 2025 saw a drop in reported crime in Bordon with 82 being reported in October compared to 102 in September.

But there are some concerns with three more burglaries being reported around the Oxney Quarter in addition to the same number the previous month.

Just under a quarter of all crimes reported during the month involved violent or sexual offences (VSOs) according to the www.police.uk data.

Nineteen incidents involved anti-social behaviour or criminal damage while the police also received 13 reports of shoplifting, with Tesco and the Forest Shopping Centre being hotspots.

A handful of incidents involving drugs were also reported during the month with two of the five taking place on Warren Close.
