Mynydd Isa Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

November 2025 saw Mynydd Isa's crime rate reach 4.1 per 1,000, a 15.2% increase from October but still 43.8% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. The surge in violence and sexual offences, rising from 7 to 13 incidents, dominated the monthly tally, accounting for 56.5% of all crimes. This spike, likely influenced by November's dark evenings and community events like Bonfire Night, contrasts with a 25% drop in anti-social behaviour and a 33.3% decrease in criminal damage and arson. Other theft and shoplifting also rose sharply, with the latter doubling to two cases, possibly tied to Black Friday shopping. The area's crime profile remains heavily skewed toward violent crime, with 63% of incidents falling into this category compared to 28% in the UK. Despite the upward trend, Mynydd Isa's overall safety continues to outperform national averages, though the sharp rise in violence underscores the need for heightened awareness, particularly in areas with high foot traffic during retail events. The seasonal context of November—marked by shorter days, festive activity, and increased retail activity—likely contributed to the fluctuations, with shoplifting and theft benefiting from higher consumer activity and potentially lower visibility for law enforcement.

Violence and sexual offences surged by 85.7% in November, rising from 7 to 13 incidents—a stark increase that warrants attention. Other theft also saw a 200% jump, with three reported cases compared to one in October, likely linked to Black Friday shopping activity. Shoplifting doubled to two incidents, possibly driven by seasonal retail traffic. Despite these rises, violence remains 11% below the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000, indicating the area's overall safety. Anti-social behaviour fell by 25%, and criminal damage and arson dropped 33.3%. Residents should be particularly vigilant in retail areas during peak shopping periods, given the sharp rise in theft-related crimes.

Mynydd Isa's crime rate rose 15.2% in November 2025 compared to 3.6 per 1,000 in October, reaching 4.1 per 1,000. This increase, though modest, translates to one reported crime per day on average across the 5,630 residents. Over the course of the month, one crime occurred for every 245 residents, a figure that contextualises the scale of incidents within the local population. While the rate remains 43.8% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000, the upward trend highlights a shift in local patterns. The daily crime count, though low, underscores the need for vigilance during peak shopping periods and community events. This monthly exposure figure also reveals that the area's crime burden is lighter than the national average, even as specific categories like violence show notable spikes. The population-scaled perspective reinforces that while the area is safer than most, targeted awareness remains critical for residents.
