Bagillt Crime Rate June 2024 | Monthly Statistics

June 2024 marked a continuation of Bagillt’s historically low crime levels, with an overall rate of 7.7 crimes per 1,000 residents—6.1% below the UK average of 8.2. This figure places the built-up area within Flintshire among the safer communities in the UK. Violent crimes dominated the monthly tally, accounting for 18 of the 42 total incidents (42.9% of all reported crimes). This category’s rate (3.3 per 1,000) is 20% above the UK average for violence and sexual offences, a discrepancy that may reflect the area’s specific social or demographic characteristics. Anti-social behaviour followed closely, with 11 incidents (26.2% of total crimes), and public order offences contributing 5 cases (11.9%). These figures suggest a focus on community-level issues, possibly linked to local interactions in public spaces. Seasonal context may also play a role: as June marks the start of summer, the longer days and increased outdoor activity could influence both crime patterns and policing priorities. However, the absence of major spikes in property crimes—such as burglary or vehicle crime—suggests that traditional seasonal trends, like increased tourism or retail activity, may not be significant drivers here. The data also highlights a stark contrast between Bagillt and national averages in specific categories: drugs-related offences, for instance, were 186% above the UK average. This anomaly could indicate either a localised issue or a data outlier, warranting closer attention in future analyses.

June 2024 saw notable shifts in crime patterns within Bagillt, with three categories experiencing significant increases. Burglary, drugs-related offences, and possession of weapons all rose by 100% compared to the previous month, though these remain low in absolute terms. Conversely, other theft, criminal damage and arson, and vehicle crime each fell sharply, with other theft decreasing by 83.3% and criminal damage by 80%. These fluctuations suggest a combination of local factors and broader trends. The violent crime category, which made up 42.9% of all reported incidents, remains above the UK average, with a rate of 3.3 per 1,000 compared to the national average of 2.8 per 1,000. This discrepancy may reflect the area’s specific social dynamics, though further analysis would be needed to confirm. For residents, the sharp decline in vehicle crime—down to just one incident in June—offers a concrete example of how targeted efforts or seasonal factors could influence specific categories of crime.
