Bedwas Crime Rate October 2025 | Monthly Statistics

October 2025 marked a continuation of Bedwas’s exceptionally low crime profile, with a total crime rate of 0.2 per 1,000 residents—97.4% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. This figure, the lowest recorded for the area, highlights a stark contrast to the national trend, where crime rates typically remain significantly higher. The sole incident reported was 'Other theft', which constitutes 100% of total crimes and sits 62% below the UK average for this category. This concentration of crime in a single, non-violent type may reflect local conditions, such as the area’s built-up nature and possibly the influence of seasonal factors. October’s darker evenings and Halloween, which often correlate with increased crime in other regions, did not lead to a spike in Bedwas, suggesting that either community initiatives or environmental characteristics may be mitigating risk. The absence of violent crime or other property offences further underscores the area’s unique position, where crime is not only rare but also highly contained. This pattern may be consistent with Bedwas’s character as a smaller, built-up area within Caerphilly, where lower population density and higher levels of community cohesion could contribute to the observed safety. Seasonal context, such as the transition to darker evenings and the timing of Halloween, may also play a role. The low crime rate, combined with the specific nature of the incident, illustrates a neighbourhood where crime is an infrequent and isolated occurrence, rather than a systemic issue.

The sole recorded crime in October 2025 was 'Other theft', which accounts for 100% of total incidents and sits 62% below the UK average rate of 0.5 per 1,000. This stark deviation from the national norm suggests a local factor—such as community vigilance or specific environmental deterrents—may be contributing to the area’s low theft rates. The absence of violent crime or other property offences further indicates a crime mix that is overwhelmingly non-violent and minimal in scope. The daily crime count of 0 per day (1 incident over 31 days) offers residents a tangible reassurance of safety, particularly during October’s darker evenings and Halloween, when crime rates in other areas often rise. These findings, while limited in scope, provide a clear snapshot of Bedwas as a place where crime is not only rare but also concentrated in a single, non-violent category.

In October 2025, Bedwas recorded 1 crime over 31 days, translating to roughly 0 crimes per day—a figure that highlights the area’s exceptionally low daily crime exposure. Over the course of the month, 1 reported crime occurred for every 6,763 residents, a ratio that underscores the rarity of incidents in this built-up area. When scaled to the population, the crime rate of 0.2 per 1,000 residents places Bedwas far below the UK average, suggesting a level of safety that may reflect local factors such as community engagement or environmental characteristics. While no direct comparison to previous months is available, the daily and monthly figures collectively illustrate a landscape where crime is not only infrequent but also highly unlikely to impact any given resident. This perspective is critical for understanding the practical implications of the statistics: for most residents, the likelihood of encountering crime remains extremely low, even during periods of seasonal change like October’s darker evenings and Halloween.
