Abergele Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Abergele’s crime profile in June 2025 was dominated by violence and sexual offences, which accounted for nearly half (47.6%) of all reported crimes. With a total of 42 crimes recorded, the area’s crime rate of 4.7 per 1,000 residents placed it 42% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. This disparity underscores Abergele’s status as a relatively low-crime built-up area, a trend consistent with its geographic and demographic characteristics. The dominance of violence and sexual offences, which occurred at a rate of 2.3 per 1,000 residents, likely reflects the area’s small population and the concentration of incidents in community spaces, such as local parks or public areas. Seasonal factors may also play a role, as the start of summer typically sees increased foot traffic in coastal towns like Abergele, potentially contributing to a rise in interpersonal crimes. Anti-social behaviour, the second most common category, occurred at a rate of 1.2 per 1,000 residents—15% below the UK average—suggesting that local efforts to manage disorder may be effective. Meanwhile, property crimes such as other theft and criminal damage remained significantly below national levels, with the latter at 0.3 per 1,000 residents, 48% below the UK average. These figures align with Abergele’s character as a compact, commuter-oriented area with limited commercial activity, where the absence of large retail or entertainment hubs reduces opportunities for certain types of crime. The seasonal context of June—marking the beginning of summer—may also influence patterns, as increased tourism and extended daylight hours could impact both crime types and policing priorities. However, the absence of a major spike in theft or burglary suggests that the area’s low crime rate remains resilient to typical seasonal fluctuations.

June 2025 saw a stark contrast in crime trends, with bicycle theft surging by 100% from zero to two incidents, a jump that may reflect the start of the summer season and increased cycling activity. Concurrently, violence and sexual offences rose by 33.3%, from 15 to 20 cases, a shift that suggests seasonal pressures on community safety. However, anti-social behaviour fell by 42.1%, declining from 19 to 11 incidents—a drop that could be linked to improved local enforcement or the absence of large-scale events. Abergele’s rate for violence and sexual offences (2.3 per 1,000) remains 20% below the UK average, illustrating the area’s relative safety despite the month-on-month increase. This balance between rising and falling categories highlights the complexity of local crime dynamics, where targeted interventions may have offset broader seasonal influences.

Abergele's crime rate in June 2025 dropped to 4.7 per 1,000 residents, a 16% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 5.6. This decline aligns with the area’s historically lower crime profile compared to the UK average. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately one crime per day, a figure that reflects the small population of 8,867 residents. Over the course of the month, the monthly exposure rate of 1-in-211 residents highlights that the likelihood of experiencing a crime in Abergele remains significantly lower than in many other UK areas. This consistency with the area’s long-term trends suggests that local factors—such as community cohesion, limited nightlife, and the absence of large retail hubs—continue to shape crime patterns. The population-scaled perspective further underscores that even with the 33.3% rise in violence and sexual offences, the overall impact remains manageable within the context of Abergele’s demographic size.
