Bagillt Crime Rate December 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Bagillt's December 2025 crime rate of 5.5 per 1,000 residents places the area 21.4% below the UK average of 7.0, a consistent trend reflecting the community's relatively low overall crime levels. The most prevalent crime type was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 43.3% of all reported incidents, though this category remains 7% below the UK average. This discrepancy may partly stem from Bagillt's character as a small built-up area within Flintshire, where community cohesion and lower population density likely contribute to reduced violent crime compared to larger urban centres. The second most common category was criminal damage and arson, which surged to 23.3% of total crimes — a 150% increase above the UK average of 0.5 per 1,000. This anomaly may be linked to seasonal factors, as December's dark evenings and holiday-related property neglect could create opportunities for such offences. Anti-social behaviour, making up 13.3% of reported crimes, fell 25% below the UK average, suggesting that local initiatives or community policing efforts may have mitigated disorderly conduct. The month's context of Christmas shopping and empty homes during the holiday period may have influenced crime patterns, with increased foot traffic driving theft and property damage while also enabling targeted interventions in high-risk areas. These trends illustrate the combination of local characteristics and seasonal dynamics in shaping Bagillt's crime profile.

December 2025 marked a dramatic 250% increase in criminal damage and arson, rising from 2 to 7 incidents — the most significant single-category surge in the month. This spike contrasts sharply with the 18.8% decline in violence and sexual offences, which dropped from 16 to 13, a reduction that may partly reflect seasonal changes in social activity. Other theft and robbery both saw 100% increases, suggesting a shift in criminal focus toward property-related offences during the festive period. Bagillt's rate for violence and sexual offences (2.4 per 1,000) remains 7% below the UK average, a contrast to the 150% elevation in criminal damage and arson compared to the national rate of 0.5 per 1,000. Residents might find the 100% rise in robbery particularly concerning, given the absence of such incidents in the prior month.

Bagillt's crime rate in December 2025 rose 7.0% from 5.1 to 5.5 per 1,000 residents compared to November, reflecting a slight upward trend. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately one reported crime per day over the 31-day period, a figure that aligns with the small population of 5,484. When scaled to the population, this equates to one crime for every 183 residents over the course of the month — a measure that contextualises the impact of crime on local households. The population-scaled perspective highlights that Bagillt's crime levels, while modest, remain a consistent concern for residents, particularly given the seasonal factors of December, which often see increased foot traffic and social gatherings. This monthly exposure figure, though low in absolute terms, underscores the importance of community vigilance during periods of heightened activity.
