Pyle Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Pyle’s November 2025 crime rate of 6.3 per 1,000 residents places it 13.7% below the UK average, a position that reflects both consistent policing efforts and the area’s built-up character. The crime profile is dominated by violence and sexual offences (41 incidents, 44.6% of total), public order issues (9 cases, 9.8%), and shoplifting (8 incidents, 8.7%). These patterns align with the area’s role as a commuter hub within Bridgend, where high foot traffic in retail and public spaces may contribute to the prevalence of public order and theft-related crimes. Seasonal factors, including the onset of dark evenings and the proximity of Bonfire Night, likely amplified violent crime rates, though the overall decline from October’s 9.0 per 1,000 suggests effective local measures. The area’s relatively low burglary and other theft rates—4.4% and 4.4% of total crimes, respectively—contrast with the UK average, potentially due to the presence of community-focused policing initiatives and robust property security in residential zones. Meanwhile, the 21% below-UK-average shoplifting rate may indicate successful retail crime prevention strategies, such as CCTV coverage and staff training, during the Black Friday shopping period. These dynamics illustrate how Pyle’s crime profile, shaped by its urban density and seasonal rhythms, continues to evolve within the broader context of national trends.

November 2025 saw a dramatic 250% increase in vehicle crime, rising from 2 to 7 incidents. This surge, likely linked to increased traffic during Black Friday shopping and seasonal travel, contrasts sharply with a 53.3% decline in anti-social behaviour, which fell from 15 to 7 cases. The area’s violent crime rate—41 incidents, or 44.6% of total crimes—remains 9% above the UK average for violence and sexual offences, a figure that may reflect the impact of dark evenings on public safety. Meanwhile, shoplifting rates dropped 21% below the UK average, a trend potentially influenced by heightened retail security measures during the holiday shopping season. Residents may note that vehicle crime now accounts for 7.6% of all incidents, a significant shift from October’s figures, underscoring the need for targeted interventions in parking areas and transport hubs.

Pyle’s November 2025 crime rate of 6.3 per 1,000 residents marks a 30.8% decrease from the previous month’s 9.0 per 1,000. This drop aligns with a broader trend observed in built-up areas during late autumn, where reduced daylight hours and seasonal events may influence reporting patterns. On a daily basis, the area recorded roughly 3 crimes per day, a figure that, while localised, provides a tangible snapshot of monthly activity. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 160 residents—a rate that, when contextualised against the area’s population of 14,726, highlights the relatively low frequency of incidents compared to larger urban centres. The population-scaled perspective underscores that Pyle’s crime levels remain well below the UK average, a position reinforced by consistent reductions in anti-social behaviour and other crime categories. These figures, though static, offer residents a clear benchmark for understanding local safety relative to both national trends and historical data for the area.
