Tredegar Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Tredegar's crime rate in June 2025 reached 12.8 per 1,000 residents, placing it 58% above the UK average of 8.1. This figure reflects a combination of local factors, with violence and sexual offences accounting for 30.8% of all crimes, followed by anti-social behaviour at 19.5% and criminal damage and arson at 14.8%. These proportions indicate a persistent focus on property-related and public order crimes, consistent with the area's characteristics as a built-up region within a historically industrial area. The seasonal context of June, with its longer days and the onset of summer tourism, may have influenced patterns. Violent crime remains a significant concern, with violence and sexual offences at 3.9 per 1,000, 36% above the UK average. Anti-social behaviour's 76% excess over the UK rate highlights a need for community-focused initiatives. Meanwhile, the sharp rise in robbery—though small in absolute terms—suggests emerging risks that warrant closer attention. These trends, when viewed alongside the broader UK context, illustrate both the challenges and the potential for targeted improvements in local crime management.

The most dramatic month-on-month change in June 2025 was a 200% increase in robbery incidents, rising from one to three cases. This sharp rise contrasts with a 75% decline in burglary, which fell from four to one. Such a stark shift in violent crime types may reflect changing dynamics in local hotspots, particularly as summer activities intensify. Anti-social behaviour remained the second most common crime type, contributing 19.5% of all incidents and 76% above the UK average. This category's persistent elevation underscores ongoing challenges in managing public order. Meanwhile, shoplifting rates doubled from two to four cases, a 100% increase, though this remains below the UK average by 52%. These fluctuations highlight the need for targeted interventions, particularly in areas where anti-social behaviour and robbery are concentrated.

Tredegar's crime rate in June 2025 fell by 9.6% compared to the previous month, dropping from 14.1 to 12.8 per 1,000 residents. This decline aligns with a broader seasonal pattern, as June marks the start of summer when outdoor activity increases and tourism begins in nearby rural areas. Locally, the average daily crime count stands at six reported incidents per day, translating to one crime for every 78 residents over the course of the month. This monthly exposure figure provides context for residents, illustrating the frequency of crime in relation to population density. While the overall rate remains elevated compared to the UK average, the month-on-month decrease suggests a temporary moderation in criminal activity. The reduction in burglary and other theft, coupled with a sharp rise in robbery, indicates shifting patterns that may reflect changes in local behavior or policing focus during the summer months.
