Kinmel Bay Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For a population of 9,575 residents, 75 crimes in November 2025 equate to a crime rate of 7.8 per 1,000 people, placing Kinmel Bay 6.8% above the UK average of 7.3. This rate reflects a mix of violent and property crimes, with violence and sexual offences dominating the landscape. These crimes accounted for 50.7% of the total (38 cases), followed by anti-social behaviour (22.7%, 17 cases) and criminal damage and arson (6.7%, 5 cases). Seasonal factors may partly explain these patterns, as November typically brings shorter evenings, the onset of winter, and events like Bonfire Night and Black Friday shopping. The latter could contribute to increased retail-related incidents, though property crimes remain relatively low compared to the violent crime surge. Anti-social behaviour, which has a UK average of 1.1 per 1,000, is higher here at 1.8, suggesting local dynamics such as community tensions or concentrated activity in specific areas. Meanwhile, criminal damage and arson are slightly below the UK average, reflecting lower levels of vandalism or community engagement in prevention efforts. The overall profile highlights a need for targeted interventions in violent crime and anti-social behaviour, which are elevated compared to national trends.

November 2025 saw significant shifts in crime patterns, with anti-social behaviour surging by 142.9% (from 7 to 17 cases) and drug-related offences doubling (from 0 to 5). This sharp rise in anti-social behaviour may reflect the impact of seasonal factors such as darker evenings and the disruption of local routines during the Christmas shopping period. Conversely, violence and sexual offences fell by 33.3% (from 57 to 38), a decline that could be attributed to targeted policing efforts or a natural seasonal dip in incidents. Other thefts also decreased by 25%, though this category remains below the UK average. The crime mix shifted further towards violent crime, with property crimes accounting for only 13.3% of the total (10 cases), compared to 50.7% for violent crime. This imbalance contrasts with the UK average, where violent crime typically constitutes a smaller share. Drug-related offences in Kinmel Bay are 85% above the UK average (0.3 per 1,000), indicating a localised issue that may warrant further investigation. Residents should be aware that anti-social behaviour is now 70% above the UK average, a figure that could signal underlying community tensions or challenges in managing public spaces during peak hours.

The crime rate in Kinmel Bay for November 2025 (7.8 per 1,000) marks a 10.7% decrease from the previous month's rate of 8.8, suggesting a short-term improvement in local safety. On a daily basis, the area experienced an average of 2 crimes per day over the 30-day period—a figure that, while modest, underscores the persistent presence of criminal activity in a relatively small population. When scaled to the local context, the monthly exposure translates to 1 reported crime for every 128 residents, a ratio that may feel more tangible to residents than aggregate statistics. This monthly exposure is particularly significant in a built-up area like Kinmel Bay, where community density can amplify the visibility of crime. Compared to the UK average, the area's rate remains elevated, though the decline from the previous month indicates potential progress in addressing local challenges. The drop in violent crime and the rise in anti-social behaviour highlight the need for nuanced strategies that balance immediate safety concerns with long-term community engagement. Residents living in areas with higher concentrations of public spaces or commercial activity may find the 1-in-128 ratio more impactful, as these locations often serve as focal points for both crime prevention and community policing efforts.
