Flint Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For a population of 13,749, Flint recorded 131 crimes in June 2025, translating to a crime rate of 9.5 per 1,000 residents. This figure places the area 17.3% above the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000, a disparity that may partly reflect local dynamics. The most prevalent crime types were violence and sexual offences (57 cases, 43.5% of total), followed by anti-social behaviour (30 cases, 22.9%) and shoplifting (16 cases, 12.2%). These patterns align with seasonal shifts typical of June, when the start of summer often correlates with increased foot traffic in town centres and public spaces. Violence and sexual offences, in particular, were 47% above the UK average for this category, potentially linked to the area’s mix of residential and commercial zones, where social interactions are more frequent. Anti-social behaviour also exceeded the UK average by 55%, influenced by warmer evenings extending social activities into late hours. Shoplifting rates were 90% higher than the UK average, a trend consistent with retail areas experiencing higher volumes of customers during peak tourist seasons. While property crimes accounted for 25.9% of total crimes (34 cases), violent crimes dominated the landscape, underscoring a need for targeted interventions in high-traffic areas. The seasonal context of June—longer days and the beginning of summer—may contribute to these trends, though other factors such as local demographics or policing strategies could also play a role.

June 2025 saw a sharp 150% increase in burglary cases, rising from 2 to 5, marking the most significant month-on-month jump among all crime categories. This surge contrasts with notable declines in other areas: vehicle crime fell by 85.7% (from 7 to 1), other crime dropped 75% (from 4 to 1), and drugs-related offences decreased by 50% (from 2 to 1). These fluctuations highlight a shifting balance between property and violent crime, with the latter maintaining dominance. Violence and sexual offences, which constitute 43.5% of all crimes, were 47% above the UK average for this category, a gap that underscores the area’s distinct challenges. Anti-social behaviour, at 55% above the UK average, and shoplifting, at 90% above, further illustrate how local conditions may amplify certain crime types. Criminal damage and arson were 14% below the UK average, while other theft and vehicle crime fell significantly. These variations suggest that while some crime types are being effectively managed, others—particularly those tied to social interactions—remain pressing concerns. For residents, the burglary increase serves as a concrete reminder of the need for heightened vigilance in homes, especially during periods of increased outdoor activity.

Flint’s crime rate in June 2025 (9.5 per 1,000) represented a 14.9% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 11.2 per 1,000, a decline that may reflect seasonal adjustments or improved policing efforts. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately 4 crimes per day over the month, a figure that, while lower than the prior month, still indicates a relatively active crime environment. When scaled to the population, the monthly exposure rate of 1 in 105 residents highlights the frequency of crime in the area, emphasizing that no resident is entirely insulated from potential incidents. This statistic, though monthly rather than daily, provides context for understanding the likelihood of encountering crime in Flint compared to other areas. The population-scaled perspective is particularly relevant for families or individuals considering relocation, as it underscores the need for community-focused safety measures. While the overall rate remains above the UK average, the downward trend from 11.2 to 9.5 per 1,000 suggests that targeted interventions—such as increased patrols in high-risk zones or community engagement programs—could further reduce incidents. However, the persistent gap between Flint’s crime rate and the UK average indicates that localized factors, such as the town’s built-up character and proximity to transport hubs, may continue to influence crime patterns.
