Abergele Crime Rate September 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Abergele's September 2025 crime rate of 5.8 per 1,000 residents demonstrates a marked improvement compared to the UK average of 7.4 per 1,000, a 21.6% reduction. This performance reflects a combination of seasonal factors and local policing efforts. The most prevalent crime category, violence and sexual offences, accounted for 41.2% of all incidents (21 cases), yet this figure represents a 32.3% decrease from August, likely influenced by the return to school and university freshers' week, which may have altered community dynamics. Anti-social behaviour, though a significant concern (25.5% of total crimes), remains 28% above the UK average, indicating a need for focused community engagement strategies. Shoplifting, the third most common category (7.8% of total), fell 18% below the UK average, possibly due to the area's relatively low retail density compared to larger urban centres. The seasonal context of September—marked by the transition to autumn and the start of academic terms—may have contributed to the overall decline in violent crime, though the increase in possession of weapons and burglary suggests emerging challenges that require further analysis.

September 2025 saw a significant 32.3% reduction in violence and sexual offences, the most common crime category, bringing the total to 21 incidents from 31 in August. This decrease aligns with the start of the academic year, potentially reducing opportunities for late-night incidents. Meanwhile, anti-social behaviour remained 28% above the UK average at 1.5 per 1,000, suggesting ongoing challenges in community management. A notable increase was observed in possession of weapons, which doubled from 0 to 1 incident. Other theft and criminal damage and arson both saw steep declines, with other theft dropping 62.5% and criminal damage falling 66.7% from August levels. These shifts indicate a mixed picture where some categories are trending downward while others require targeted intervention.

Abergele's crime rate in September 2025 fell to 5.8 per 1,000 residents, a 21.6% drop from the previous month's rate of 7.3 per 1,000. This decline positions the area 21.6% below the UK average of 7.4 per 1,000, a consistent trend for the region. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately 2 crimes per day in September, a manageable figure for a built-up area of 8,867 residents. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 174 residents, highlighting the relatively low frequency of incidents in a community of this size. When scaled to population, Abergele's crime profile suggests a safer environment compared to national averages, though localised spikes in specific categories require attention. The monthly exposure figure, while low, underscores the importance of maintaining community-focused policing strategies to sustain this downward trend.
