Llandudno Crime Rate February 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Llandudno’s crime rate in February 2025 stood at 12.6 per 1,000 residents, placing it 88.1% above the UK average of 6.7. This stark divergence from the national trend highlights the area’s unique crime profile. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 37.9% of all crimes, with 72 incidents reported—4.8 per 1,000 residents, a figure 104% above the UK average. Anti-social behaviour followed closely, contributing 23.2% of the total, with 44 cases recorded, 199% above the UK average. These figures suggest a significant challenge in managing public order and interpersonal conflicts. Shoplifting, at 13.2% of the total, also exceeded the UK average by 174%, reflecting potential vulnerabilities in retail environments. The seasonal context of February—a winter month with low outdoor activity and a pre-spring lull—may partly explain the persistence of indoor-based crimes such as violence and anti-social behaviour. However, the sharp contrast with the UK average raises questions about local factors, such as the town’s tourist economy, which could drive both economic activity and associated conflicts. While the area’s coastal and commuter characteristics might typically correlate with lower crime rates, the data here indicates a combination of local dynamics that require further analysis.

February 2025 saw notable shifts in Llandudno’s crime profile. Violent crimes remained high, with 72 incidents reported—4.8 per 1,000 residents, 104% above the UK average. This category alone accounted for nearly 38% of all crimes, suggesting a focus on addressing interpersonal conflicts and public safety. Meanwhile, anti-social behaviour surged, with 44 cases reported, 199% above the UK average. This could reflect heightened tensions in communal spaces, such as the town’s high street or popular leisure areas. Among property crimes, shoplifting decreased by 26.5% compared to January, dropping from 34 to 25 cases. This decline may align with reduced foot traffic during winter, though the rate remains 174% above the UK average. Conversely, other thefts rose sharply by 125%, from 4 to 9 cases, a trend that could indicate targeted thefts in residential areas. Burglary fell by 75%, from 8 to 2 cases, linked to increased security measures or seasonal deterrence. These fluctuations underscore the need for targeted interventions, particularly in retail and residential sectors. A resident might find the 75% reduction in burglary reassuring, but the persistent elevation in violent and anti-social crimes remains a critical concern.

Llandudno’s crime rate in February 2025 (12.6 per 1,000) marked a 14.0% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 14.6 per 1,000, indicating a slight but meaningful improvement. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately 7 crimes per day over the 28-day period, translating to a monthly exposure of one reported crime for every 80 residents. This figure, while illustrative of the area’s relative risk, does not account for the UK-wide context, as no equivalent daily or monthly exposure data is provided for the nation. With a population of 15,127, the 190 total crimes reported in February equate to a 1.26% incidence rate, which, when scaled, highlights the need for community-focused policing. The reduction in burglary and vehicle crime—by 75% and 60% respectively—suggests that targeted measures, such as improved lighting or community engagement, may have had a positive impact. However, the sharp rise in other thefts and the continued dominance of violent and anti-social crimes over the UK average indicate that challenges remain. For residents, these figures offer a nuanced perspective: while some categories show improvement, others demand sustained attention to ensure a safer environment.
