Flintshire Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Flintshire’s November 2025 crime profile reveals a striking dominance of violent offences, which accounted for 45.4% of all reported crimes. This stark contrast to the 36.6% share of property-related crimes underscores a unique regional dynamic. While the overall rate of 5.8 per 1,000 residents places Flintshire 20.5% below the UK average, the composition of crimes tells a more nuanced story. Violence and sexual offences, though slightly above the UK average for their category, are tempered by exceptionally low rates in property crimes such as shoplifting (21% below UK levels) and criminal damage (43% below). This pattern may reflect the area’s rural-urban mix, where violent incidents are more concentrated in populated centres, while property crime is diluted by lower population density. Seasonal factors also appear to influence the data: the rise in robbery cases could be linked to Black Friday shopping activity, while the drop in bicycle theft might correlate with shorter daylight hours deterring theft. However, the persistent underperformance in property crime categories—particularly vehicle crime, which is 50% below the UK average—suggests systemic factors, such as robust local policing or community engagement initiatives, that may be contributing to this trend. The interplay between these elements illustrates an area where crime prevention strategies are effective, but targeted efforts to address violent crime remain critical.

November 2025 saw notable shifts in Flintshire’s crime profile, with robbery incidents doubling to six cases—a stark increase from three in October. This rise, though small in absolute terms, may reflect heightened activity around Bonfire Night or seasonal retail events. Conversely, bicycle theft and possession of weapons both halved, possibly due to increased awareness campaigns or seasonal inactivity. The balance of crime types also revealed a significant contrast: violent crimes, at 45.4% of the total, dominated over property-related offences, which collectively accounted for 36.6%. This skew is 1% above the UK average for violence but 43% below for criminal damage, illustrating Flintshire’s unique mix. For residents, the sharp decline in shoplifting—21% below the UK average—may indicate effective local retail security measures. Meanwhile, the 31.6% rise in ‘other crime’ cases, though unclassified, suggests the need for further investigation into emerging patterns.

Flintshire’s November 2025 crime rate of 5.8 per 1,000 residents represents an 11.2% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 6.5, marking a sustained downward trend. This decline aligns with the local authority’s broader pattern of reduced crime since mid-2025. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately 30 crimes per day, a figure that, while consistent with recent months, remains lower than the UK average. When scaled to the population, the monthly exposure rate of 1 crime per 172 residents underscores Flintshire’s relative safety compared to the national context. This figure is particularly significant for residents, as it translates to a lower likelihood of experiencing crime than in many comparable areas. The drop in property-related crimes, such as burglary and vehicle crime, which were 33% and 50% below the UK average respectively, further reinforces the area’s distinct profile. However, the slight increase in violent crime—despite remaining 20.5% below the UK average—suggests localized pressures that warrant attention. The combination of these factors illustrates a community where crime prevention efforts may be more effective than in other parts of the UK, though targeted interventions in violent crime remain a priority.
