Conwy Crime Rate October 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For every 1,000 residents in Conwy, 8.9 crimes were reported in October 2025 — a rate 15.6% higher than the UK average of 7.7. This translates to a daily risk of encountering a crime roughly once every 3.5 days, though the actual experience may vary by neighbourhood and time of day. The most common crimes were violence and sexual offences (44.0% of total), followed by anti-social behaviour (22.2%) and public order incidents (8.0%). These categories were significantly above UK averages, with violence and sexual offences 47% higher and anti-social behaviour 59% higher. The seasonal context of October — darker evenings, Halloween, and the transition to winter — may have influenced patterns, particularly in public order and anti-social behaviour. While shoplifting and vehicle crime were below UK averages, the sharp rise in robbery and vehicle crime suggests localized spikes that warrant further analysis. The area’s mix of coastal, rural, and urban environments likely contributes to these dynamics. For residents, the per-capita perspective underscores that while the rate is elevated compared to the UK, the risk is not uniformly distributed across all crime types or locations.

October saw sharp spikes in robbery (+300%) and vehicle crime (+120%), with four reported robberies and 11 vehicle-related incidents. These increases, though small in absolute terms, may reflect heightened activity during Halloween or seasonal transitions. Conversely, possession of weapons dropped 60% (15 to 6), and drug-related crimes fell 38.1% (21 to 13), possibly due to targeted policing or seasonal lulls. Violence and sexual offences remained the largest category (44.0% of total crimes), 47% above the UK average. Anti-social behaviour (22.2% of crimes) was also 59% above the UK rate, suggesting persistent challenges in managing public conduct. Shoplifting was 21% below the UK average, which may indicate effective retail security measures in the area.

Conwy’s crime rate in October 2025 rose 2.9% from 8.6 to 8.9 per 1,000 residents, reflecting a modest but measurable shift. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 113 residents — a figure that translates to a daily average of 33 crimes. This rate, while not extreme, places residents at a slightly higher risk compared to the UK average. The daily crime context shows that 33 incidents occurred in 31 days, meaning a resident might encounter a crime roughly every 3.5 days. However, this statistic does not account for the distribution of crimes across the area, which may vary by location and time of day. Population density and local activity patterns likely influence this rate. The comparison to the UK average highlights Conwy’s distinct profile, with violent and anti-social crimes driving the local rate compared to national trends.
