Llandudno Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Llandudno's November 2025 crime rate of 23.1 per 1,000 far exceeds the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000 by 216.4%, reflecting a starkly elevated risk for residents. The most prevalent crimes were violence and sexual offences (31.2% of total), anti-social behaviour (28.1%), and shoplifting (17.8%), all of which are significantly above national rates. This built-up area within Conwy, a coastal resort town, experiences seasonal fluctuations influenced by tourism and retail activity. November, with its dark evenings and events like Bonfire Night and Black Friday, may have exacerbated anti-social behaviour and shoplifting. The high rate of violence could be linked to the town's nightlife. Meanwhile, the relatively low burglary rate (1.2% of total crimes) aligns with the UK average, suggesting that the area's focus on retail and tourism rather than residential density may shape crime patterns. These trends highlight the interplay between local geography, seasonal events, and the need for targeted policing strategies in a place where tourism drives both economic activity and crime.

The most dramatic month-on-month change in November 2025 was a 195.2% increase in shoplifting, rising from 21 to 62 incidents. This surge aligns with the Black Friday shopping period, which typically drives retail crime in tourist-heavy areas like Llandudno. Concurrently, drug-related crimes jumped 200%, with reports rising from 3 to 9. This could be tied to seasonal shifts in activity or increased foot traffic during November. In contrast, vehicle crime fell sharply by 66.7%, dropping from 3 to 1, possibly due to reduced traffic during darker evenings or temporary security measures. The breakdown also shows that anti-social behaviour (28.1% of total crimes) and violence (31.2%) remain dominant, both far exceeding UK averages. For residents, the sharp rise in shoplifting underscores the need for heightened vigilance in retail areas during peak shopping periods.

Llandudno's crime rate in November 2025 rose to 23.1 per 1,000, marking a 47.2% increase from October's 15.7. This surge translates to 12 reported crimes per day on average, a figure that may concern local residents. Over the course of the month, one crime occurred for every 43 residents, highlighting the frequency of incidents in this built-up area. The population context reveals that 15,127 residents are exposed to these rates, though the area's character as a coastal resort with seasonal tourism may influence these patterns. While the UK average remains significantly lower at 7.3 per 1,000, Llandudno's local context—such as its proximity to tourist attractions and retail hubs—likely contributes to the disparity. The drop in vehicle crime by 66.7% could reflect changes in local traffic patterns or temporary measures during November.
