In Tywardreath, the crime landscape is primarily defined by anti-social behaviour (35.2% of total crime) and violence and sexual offences (26.9%). Criminal damage and arson also represent a significant portion of local reports at 15.4%. Property crime—including burglary, theft, and vehicle crime—has a combined rate of 26.8 per 1,000 residents.

How To Keep Safe in Tywardreath

The most common crime in Tywardreath is anti-social behaviour, followed by violence and sexual offences. To stay safe, it is important to be aware of your surroundings, especially during the evening when anti-social behaviour accounts for 77% of reports. Avoid areas where large groups congregate if you feel uncomfortable.

Daytime theft is the most frequent property crime, peaking in the afternoon (41%). To protect your belongings:

1. Ensure your home and any outbuildings are always locked, even if you are just in another part of the property.
2. Do not leave valuables visible through windows, as this can attract opportunistic thieves.
3. If you have a vehicle, ensure it is locked and parked in a well-lit area, especially at night when vehicle crime is more frequent (20% of night-time reports).
4. Consider a professional security system with perimeter detection to deter anti-social behaviour and criminal damage.
5. Report any suspicious activity or anti-social behaviour to the local police to help them manage the recent increase in local crime.

Vehicle crime is most prominent at night, making up 20% of all offences between midnight and 6am. Overall, crime intensity is highest during the weekend, particularly on Friday and Saturday evenings.

Tywardreath has seen a dramatic 100.8% increase in crime over the last year, with anti-social behaviour and criminal damage being major concerns. While the property crime rate is 26.8 per 1,000, the rapid rise in overall activity suggests that traditional security measures may no longer be sufficient. Standard CCTV systems are reactive—they record an incident as it happens, but they rarely stop it. For residents in an area with a rising crime trend, proactive protection is a much more effective strategy. The scOS AI-powered operating system is designed to prevent crime before it occurs. By using multi-camera intelligence, scOS monitors your property's perimeter in real-time, identifying potential threats like someone loitering near your home or a vehicle with suspicious plates. When a threat is detected, scOS can trigger autonomous responses, such as activating high-intensity lighting or playing an audio warning. This proactive intervention destroys the element of surprise that criminals rely on, often causing them to leave immediately. For Tywardreath homeowners, moving from reactive recording to proactive prevention is the best way to adapt to the area's changing safety landscape.
