Connah's Quay Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

The most striking development in Connah's Quay’s November 2025 crime statistics was the 100% surge in bicycle theft, a category that had previously seen zero incidents. This unexpected rise, occurring against a backdrop of overall crime rate reductions, highlights the unpredictable nature of local crime patterns. The area’s total crime rate of 5.6 per 1,000 residents placed it 23.3% below the UK average, a significant margin that reflects broader trends in Flintshire’s built-up areas. Violence and sexual offences remained the most prevalent category, accounting for 40.9% of all reported crimes, though they were 11% below the UK average. Anti-social behaviour followed closely, contributing 16.1% of incidents, despite being 15% below the national benchmark. Seasonal factors may have played a role in these figures, with the darkening evenings of November potentially reducing opportunities for theft from the person but increasing the risk of anti-social behaviour in public spaces. The sharp increase in bicycle theft, however, remains unexplained by available data, though it may be linked to the timing of Black Friday shopping or increased cycling due to weather conditions. Public order offences, which were 49% above the UK average, could be attributed to local events such as Bonfire Night, a known catalyst for such incidents. These findings underscore the importance of contextual analysis when interpreting crime data, as localised factors often shape outcomes in ways that defy national trends.

November 2025 saw a dramatic 100% increase in bicycle theft, with one reported incident—up from zero in October. This spike contrasts sharply with an 80% drop in burglary, which fell from five to one, likely reflecting seasonal changes in property crime patterns. Shoplifting also rose by 25%, reaching 10 incidents, potentially linked to Black Friday shopping activity. Meanwhile, anti-social behaviour remained the second most common category, though it was 15% below the UK average. Public order offences, however, stood out as 49% above the UK average, possibly tied to Bonfire Night events. Vehicle crime increased by 50%, suggesting a seasonal uptick in motor-related incidents. These shifts underscore the combination of local events and crime dynamics, with some categories responding to November’s unique context while others show resilience.

Connah's Quay's crime rate in November 2025 stood at 5.6 per 1,000 residents, a 34.5% drop from the previous month’s 8.5 per 1,000. This decline positions the area significantly below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000, with the gap widening to 23.3% below. On a daily basis, the area recorded roughly three crimes per day, a figure that, while locally specific, reflects a consistent trend of reduced incidents. Over the course of November, one crime occurred for every 180 residents, a monthly exposure rate that contrasts with the previous month’s higher frequency. When scaled to the area’s population of 16,759, this suggests a manageable level of risk for residents, though localized spikes in specific categories remain worth noting. The reduction from the prior month may be influenced by seasonal factors such as shorter evenings and reduced foot traffic during Bonfire Night, though no definitive causal link can be established without further data.
