Flintshire Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Flintshire's crime profile in November 2025 reveals a distinct balance between violent and property offences, with violence and sexual offences dominating at 45.4% of all reported crimes. This proportion significantly exceeds the share of violent crimes typically observed in UK averages, where such offences account for around 35% of total crimes. The local rate of 5.8 crimes per 1,000 residents places Flintshire 20.5% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000, a gap that may reflect broader regional differences in policing strategies or community characteristics. Seasonal factors appear to shape this pattern, with the lead-up to Bonfire Night and Black Friday likely influencing both retail crime and public order incidents. While violent crimes remain the most prevalent category, property crimes such as shoplifting and criminal damage fall well below UK averages, suggesting effective local measures in these areas. The data also highlights a notable absence of certain offences, with robbery, bicycle theft, and possession of weapons all recording rates 100% below the UK average. This contrast with national trends may be linked to Flintshire's rural-urban mix, where lower population density and community-focused policing could contribute to reduced opportunities for certain types of crime. The balance of offences indicates a focus on interpersonal violence rather than property-based crime, a dynamic that may be influenced by local socioeconomic factors or demographic profiles not explicitly detailed in the data.

November 2025 saw a 100% increase in robbery cases, rising from 3 to 6 incidents—a sharp contrast to the 50% decline in bicycle theft, which fell from 8 to 4. This divergence suggests shifting patterns in criminal activity, potentially linked to seasonal factors such as darker evenings and holiday shopping periods. The proportion of violent crimes (45.4%) outpaced property crimes (54.6%), a mix that diverges from the UK average where property crimes typically dominate. Anti-social behaviour remained 6% below the UK average, while shoplifting was 21% below national rates, indicating effective local interventions in these areas. The significant drop in criminal damage and arson—34.2% fewer incidents compared to October—may be tied to increased community patrols or seasonal deterrence factors. However, the 31.6% rise in 'other crime' category cases, from 19 to 25, highlights an emerging trend requiring further analysis. These fluctuations underscore the dynamic nature of Flintshire's crime profile, where targeted enforcement and seasonal rhythms appear to shape monthly variations in specific offence types.

Flintshire's crime rate in November 2025 stood at 5.8 per 1,000 residents, an 11.2% decrease from the previous month's rate of 6.5 per 1,000. This decline aligns with the broader trend of reduced property-related crimes, particularly in categories like criminal damage and arson, which fell by 34.2%. On a daily basis, Flintshire recorded an average of 30 crimes per day in November, a figure that translates to one reported crime for every 172 residents over the course of the month. This monthly exposure rate is lower than the UK average, which typically sees one crime for every 135 residents. The population context further underscores Flintshire's relative safety, with its 155,867 residents experiencing fewer crimes per capita compared to the national average. This disparity may reflect a combination of local policing strategies, community engagement efforts, and the area's geographic characteristics, which include both rural and urban zones. The 11.2% monthly decrease also suggests a potential seasonal effect, as November's darker evenings and reduced retail activity may have contributed to lower crime rates compared to the previous month. These figures provide a tangible benchmark for residents, illustrating that Flintshire's crime levels remain consistently below national averages while highlighting the importance of sustained local initiatives in maintaining this trend.
