Llandudno Crime Rate September 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Llandudno’s September 2025 crime rate of 15.5 per 1,000 residents places the area 109.5% above the UK average of 7.4 per 1,000, highlighting a significant divergence from national trends. This stark contrast underscores the area’s unique crime profile, shaped by its coastal location and seasonal rhythms. Violence and sexual offences dominate the crime profile, accounting for 40.9% of all reported incidents, with rates 148% above the UK average. Anti-social behaviour follows closely, making up 25.5% of total crimes and 242% above the national figure. These patterns are consistent with Llandudno’s role as a tourist destination, where transient populations and seasonal influxes can exacerbate issues such as public disorder and interpersonal conflict. The area’s crime rate is also influenced by its built-up character within Conwy, where high foot traffic and limited space may contribute to higher rates of anti-social behaviour and property crimes. September, a transitional month marked by the return to school and university freshers, likely amplifies these dynamics. For instance, the rise in violent offences may be partly explained by the mixing of local and transient populations during this time. However, the data also reveals fluctuations in specific categories—such as the sharp decline in drugs-related offences (62% below the UK average) and the marginal drop in other thefts (at the UK average)—which suggest that some crime types may be more resilient to seasonal shifts. Overall, the area’s crime picture illustrates the combination of local geography, demographics, and the broader context of UK crime trends.

September 2025 saw a 200% increase in possession of weapons offences, rising from one to three incidents. This spike, though small in absolute terms, may partly reflect heightened tensions during the transition to autumn, when seasonal changes can influence social dynamics. Burglary also rose by 40%, from five to seven cases, a trend consistent with the increased presence of short-term renters in the area during the summer months. Conversely, public order offences dropped by 51.5%, from 33 to 16, likely linked to the easing of summer tourism and reduced crowds in public spaces. Anti-social behaviour, which makes up 25.5% of all crimes, remains 242% above the UK average, a stark contrast to the national trend. Other crime fell by 87.5%, from eight to one incident, a drop that may reflect improved policing or temporary factors such as reduced foot traffic in certain areas during the month.

Llandudno’s crime rate in September 2025 fell by 15.5% compared to the previous month, dropping from 18.4 to 15.5 per 1,000 residents. This decline contrasts with the area’s overall position relative to the UK average, which remains 109.5% higher. On a daily basis, the area saw roughly eight crimes reported each day in September, a figure that reflects local patterns rather than national benchmarks. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 64 residents, a monthly aggregate that highlights the density of incidents in a relatively small population. While the reduction from August suggests some short-term stability, the rate remains significantly above the UK average, indicating persistent challenges. The population context—15,127 residents—means that even modest changes in crime numbers can translate into noticeable shifts in per capita rates. This underscores the need for targeted local measures, given that the area’s crime profile is shaped by both seasonal factors and its coastal, tourist-driven character.
