Ystrad Mynach Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Violence and sexual offences dominate Ystrad Mynach's crime picture in June 2025, accounting for 44% of all reported crimes. With an overall rate of 6.8 per 1,000 residents, the area remains 16% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000, reflecting a consistent pattern of lower-than-average crime levels. This built-up area within Caerphilly shows a distinct profile where violent incidents, particularly those involving sexual offences, form a significant portion of the total. The UK average for this category is 2.9 per 1,000, yet Ystrad Mynach records 3.0 per 1,000, suggesting a slightly higher concentration of violent crime than national norms. Seasonal factors may play a role in this dynamic, as the start of summer brings longer daylight hours and increased social activity, which could contribute to higher rates of violent incidents. Anti-social behaviour remains lower than the UK average, with a 37% gap, indicating effective community policing or lower levels of alcohol-related disorder in public spaces. Property crimes, including burglary and vehicle theft, are comparatively rare, with only 15 incidents recorded—less than half of the violent crime total. This contrast suggests a unique local environment where interpersonal conflicts and sexual offences are more prevalent than economic crimes. The area's character, shaped by its urban setting within Caerphilly, likely influences these patterns, with higher foot traffic in public areas increasing exposure to violent incidents. While the overall crime rate is lower than the UK average, the dominance of violent crimes indicates a need for targeted interventions in this category.

Violence and sexual offences accounted for 44% of all crimes in June, a category where Ystrad Mynach's rate of 3.0 per 1,000 residents is 5% above the UK average of 2.9 per 1,000. This suggests a localised concentration of violent incidents despite the overall lower crime rate. Month-on-month, robbery, burglary, and possession of weapons all doubled from zero to one, one to four, and zero to one respectively, indicating sudden spikes in these categories. Anti-social behaviour fell sharply by 63% to 10 incidents, possibly linked to reduced alcohol-related disputes during the early summer. The rate of other thefts dropped 66.7% to two incidents, though this may reflect temporary changes in retail activity rather than sustained improvements. Anti-social behaviour remains 37% below the UK average, highlighting a persistent local trend towards lower levels of disorder compared to national benchmarks.

Ystrad Mynach's crime rate in June 2025 fell by 20.3% compared to May, dropping from 8.5 to 6.8 per 1,000 residents. This decline aligns with broader seasonal patterns, as longer daylight hours and the start of summer may reduce opportunities for certain crimes. Locally, the average resident faces a 1-in-147 chance of experiencing a reported crime over the course of the month, reflecting a relatively low monthly exposure compared to other areas. Daily crime figures show an average of two incidents per day, a figure that contextualises the pace of activity in the built-up area. The population of 11,038 means each resident is statistically less likely to be directly affected by crime than in higher-density urban zones. This reduction contrasts with the UK average, where crime rates typically remain stable or rise during summer months, suggesting local factors such as community engagement or policing strategies may be contributing to this trend.
