Haverfordwest Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

In June 2025, Haverfordwest's crime rate stood at 19.7 per 1,000 residents, a figure that is 143.2% above the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. This stark divergence from national trends highlights the area's unique crime profile, where violent crime overwhelmingly dominates the landscape. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 53.2% of all reported crimes, a rate of 10.5 per 1,000 that is 267% above the UK average. This dominance of violent crime contrasts sharply with the relatively lower proportion of property crimes, which make up 25.4% of the total. The seasonal context of June—a time when coastal areas like Haverfordwest begin to see the influx of tourists—may partly explain this pattern, as increased foot traffic and nightlife activity could contribute to higher rates of violence and public order offences. Meanwhile, criminal damage and arson, at 2.1 per 1,000, were 262% above the UK average, further emphasizing the area's distinct challenges. Anti-social behaviour, though lower in proportion than violence, still represented 9.1% of all crimes and was 27% above the UK average, suggesting that community tensions or environmental factors may be playing a role. These figures, when viewed alongside the 17.2% month-on-month increase in the overall crime rate, illustrate a built-up area grappling with a significant and persistent challenge in maintaining public safety.

June 2025 saw a dramatic 300% increase in robbery, rising from 1 to 4 incidents, a stark contrast to the 66.7% drop in vehicle crime, which fell from 3 to 1. This shift in crime mix highlights a growing emphasis on violent and personal crimes over property-related offences, with violent crime accounting for 53.2% of total incidents. Violence and sexual offences, at 10.5 per 1,000, are 267% above the UK average, underscoring a significant divergence in Haverfordwest's crime profile compared to national trends. The 100% rise in burglary, from 4 to 8 cases, further emphasizes the imbalance between property and violent crime. The 173% above UK average rate for robbery suggests localized factors, such as increased foot traffic during the summer season, may be contributing to these trends. These figures provide residents with a clear snapshot of where to focus safety measures in the coming months.

Haverfordwest's crime rate in June 2025 rose to 19.7 per 1,000 residents, a 17.2% increase from the previous month's 16.8 per 1,000. This translates to roughly 8 crimes reported daily, a figure that, while local to Haverfordwest, reflects a noticeable uptick in incidents. Over the course of June, one reported crime occurred for every 51 residents, highlighting the monthly exposure to crime in this built-up area. With a population of 12,798, this rate underscores the density of incidents relative to the community size. The shift from May to June aligns with the start of the summer season, a period when tourism in coastal areas like Pembrokeshire typically increases, potentially contributing to fluctuations in crime patterns. While vehicle crime decreased by 66.7% compared to May, other categories such as robbery and burglary saw sharp rises, suggesting a combination of seasonal activity and local dynamics.
