Treharris Crime Rate November 2024 | Monthly Statistics

For a population of 6,327 residents, Treharris recorded 28 crimes in November 2024, equivalent to one crime for every 226 residents. This translates to a crime rate of 4.4 per 1,000, a figure that is 42.1% below the UK average of 7.6 per 1,000. The data reveals a crime profile dominated by violent offences, which accounted for 50% of all reported crimes (14 incidents), followed by anti-social behaviour (10.7%) and public order offences (7.1%). The seasonal context of November—marked by Bonfire Night, Black Friday shopping, and extended darkness—may have influenced these patterns, with retail-related thefts and public disorder incidents more likely during this period. However, the overall low crime rate suggests a community where violent crime is relatively rare, though the prominence of violent offences compared to property crimes (which accounted for 28.6% of incidents) indicates a need for targeted interventions. The area’s crime profile aligns with that of smaller built-up areas in Wales, where community cohesion and local policing often contribute to lower crime rates. The absence of major commercial hubs or high-density housing may further explain the comparatively low levels of property crime, though the sharp increase in theft from the person and vehicle crime highlights the need for vigilance during high-traffic periods.

November 2024 saw notable shifts in crime patterns, with theft from the person increasing by 100% (from 0 to 1) and vehicle crime doubling (from 0 to 2), likely linked to seasonal factors such as Black Friday shopping and increased vehicle activity. Conversely, criminal damage and arson fell sharply by 71.4% (from 7 to 2), possibly reflecting reduced public gatherings during darker evenings. Anti-social behaviour also declined by 70% (from 10 to 3), a trend consistent with the area’s historical seasonal fluctuations. The breakdown of crimes reveals that violence and sexual offences (2.2 per 1,000) remain 15% below the UK average, while anti-social behaviour (0.5 per 1,000) is 55% below national rates. These figures suggest a community where violent crime is comparatively rare, though the rise in theft-related incidents highlights areas for vigilance during peak shopping periods.

Treharris recorded a crime rate of 4.4 per 1,000 residents in November 2024, marking a 37.7% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 7.1 per 1,000. This decline aligns with broader trends observed in smaller built-up areas during late autumn, where reduced foot traffic and seasonal events may contribute to lower reporting rates. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately one crime per day, a figure that, while low, reflects the concentrated nature of incidents within a small population. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 226 residents, a statistic that contextualises the scale of crime relative to the local population. This monthly exposure rate is lower than the UK average, which, while not directly comparable due to differing population sizes, underscores Treharris’s position as a relatively low-crime area. The population-scaled perspective further highlights that the 28 recorded crimes represent a small proportion of the total population, reinforcing the area’s safety profile compared to national benchmarks.
