Denbighshire Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For every 107 residents in Denbighshire, one crime was reported in June 2025, translating the area’s crime rate of 9.3 per 1,000 into a tangible daily risk. This rate is 14.8% higher than the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000, a disparity that reflects both local challenges and broader regional trends. Violence and sexual offences dominate the crime picture, accounting for 43.8% of all incidents, with a rate of 4.1 per 1,000—43% above the UK average. This category’s prominence may be linked to the area’s social dynamics, including the presence of towns and communities where interpersonal conflicts are more likely to occur. Anti-social behaviour follows closely, contributing 17.1% of crimes, while shoplifting—rising to 1.0 per 1,000—remains a persistent issue, particularly in retail hubs. Seasonal factors, such as the start of the summer and increased tourism, likely influence these patterns, with longer daylight hours potentially correlating with higher incidences of public order offences and theft. The data also highlights a mixed picture for property crimes, with shoplifting and criminal damage above UK averages but vehicle crime significantly below, due to effective policing or environmental design in key areas. These findings paint a complex but actionable picture for local authorities and residents alike.

June 2025 saw a 200% increase in possession of weapons, rising from 2 to 6 incidents, a stark shift that could reflect heightened tensions or unexplained factors. Bicycle theft surged by 150%, from 2 to 5 cases, potentially linked to increased tourism during the summer months. Conversely, theft from the person fell by two-thirds, from 3 to 1, a decline that may be attributed to heightened awareness or seasonal activity patterns. The area’s violent crime rate remains 43% above the UK average, with 4.1 per 1,000 residents affected, a figure that highlights ongoing challenges in this category. Meanwhile, vehicle crime in Denbighshire is 73% below the UK average, suggesting that local infrastructure or community initiatives may be contributing to this lower rate. These fluctuations underscore the need for targeted strategies to address rising concerns while maintaining efforts in areas where progress has been made.

In June 2025, Denbighshire’s crime rate fell by 4.0% from the previous month’s 9.7 per 1,000 to 9.3 per 1,000, reflecting a slight but measurable trend. Daily, the area experienced approximately 30 reported crimes, a figure that contextualises the pace of incidents within the community. Over the course of the month, one crime was recorded for every 107 residents, highlighting the frequency of incidents in a localised timeframe. This monthly exposure rate, while not directly comparable to UK-wide figures, underscores the need for residents to remain vigilant. The population context further illustrates that Denbighshire’s crime rate, though above the UK average, is distributed across its 98,202 residents in a manner that aligns with the area’s demographic and geographic profile. The shift from May to June, with a reduction in violent crimes and increases in specific categories like bicycle theft, suggests seasonal influences and localized factors that may warrant closer attention.
