Bagillt Crime Rate May 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Bagillt’s crime rate in May 2025 remained lower than the UK average, with 5.8 crimes per 1,000 residents—a figure 28.4% below the national benchmark of 8.1 per 1,000. This stability, however, masked a significant anomaly: the unexpected rise in bicycle theft, which surged from zero to one incident, marking a 100% increase. Violence and sexual offences, the most common category, accounted for 40.6% of all reported crimes, though their numbers fell slightly compared to April. Anti-social behaviour (18.8%) and criminal damage and arson (15.6%) followed, with the latter category exceeding the UK average by 50%. These patterns align with seasonal factors, as May’s longer evenings and bank holidays may have encouraged more outdoor socialising, contributing to the spike in public order offences. The area’s overall crime profile suggests a balance between persistent local challenges—such as vandalism—and proactive measures that have kept rates below national levels. With 32 total crimes reported, Bagillt’s low density of incidents, combined with its relatively high proportion of anti-social behaviour and violence-related offences, illustrates a community grappling with specific, targeted issues while maintaining a broader sense of security.

May 2025 brought unexpected shifts in Bagillt’s crime profile, most the 100% increase in bicycle theft, which rose from zero to one incident. This anomaly contrasts with a 13.3% decrease in violence and sexual offences, which fell from 15 to 13, and a 75% drop in other theft, which dropped from four to one. These fluctuations suggest a combination of local factors, though the absence of prior bicycle theft data makes the spike particularly noteworthy. Meanwhile, public order offences also doubled, rising from zero to four, potentially linked to longer evenings and increased socialising during May’s bank holidays. The area’s criminal damage and arson rate (0.9 per 1,000) was 50% above the UK average, while anti-social behaviour (1.1 per 1,000) remained 23% below national levels. Residents may find the 100% increase in bicycle theft most concerning, as it highlights a previously unaddressed vulnerability in local crime prevention efforts.

Bagillt's crime rate in May 2025 stood at 5.8 per 1,000 residents, a 3.0% decrease from the previous month's 6.0 per 1,000. This decline, while modest, positions the area as one of the safer built-up regions in the UK, with the overall rate 28.4% below the national average of 8.1 per 1,000. Daily crime statistics for the month reveal an average of one reported crime per day, a figure that, while low, underscores the need for vigilance in community spaces. Over the course of May, one crime occurred for roughly every 171 residents, a monthly exposure rate that contrasts sharply with the UK's broader context. With a population of 5,484, Bagillt's relatively low crime density suggests that local initiatives or environmental factors—such as increased community engagement or seasonal patterns—may be playing a role in maintaining this trend. The shift from April to May highlights the dynamic nature of crime reporting, with no single factor dominating the change, but the consistency in low rates indicates a stable, if not improving, security environment.
