Pembrokeshire Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

In Pembrokeshire, the per-capita risk of experiencing a crime in June 2025 was 9.0 per 1,000 residents, placing the area 11.1% above the UK average of 8.1. This rate, while not extreme, reflects a local profile where violent crime dominates the crime mix, accounting for 51.1% of all reported incidents. Violence and sexual offences, the most common category, were 61% higher than the UK average, a figure that may be influenced by the area’s coastal character and the influx of visitors during summer. The seasonal context of June—longer days and the start of the tourism season—likely plays a role in shaping these patterns, as increased foot traffic and social activity can heighten opportunities for violent encounters. Anti-social behaviour, in contrast, was 44% below the UK average, possibly due to a more tightly knit community or lower population density. Property crimes, while less prevalent than violent offences, still accounted for 27.9% of total incidents, with criminal damage and arson comprising 9.6% of the total. This mix suggests a combination of local demographics, tourism, and environmental factors. The higher rate of violent crime compared to the UK average may also reflect regional differences in policing strategies or socioeconomic conditions, though further data would be needed to confirm such links. As the summer progresses, continued monitoring of these trends will be essential to address emerging risks and support community safety initiatives.

June saw sharp increases in robbery, with a 100% rise from 3 to 6 incidents, and other crime, which jumped 54.2% to 37 cases. These spikes suggest emerging issues that may warrant closer attention. Conversely, bicycle theft plummeted by 83.3%, dropping from 6 to 1 case, a decline that could reflect seasonal shifts or targeted community efforts. The breakdown of crime types reveals a stark contrast to the UK average: violent crimes in Pembrokeshire are 61% higher than the national rate, while anti-social behaviour is 44% lower. This divergence highlights the area’s unique profile, where violent crime may be amplified by factors such as summer tourism and coastal activity, whereas anti-social behaviour could be mitigated by community cohesion or lower population density. For residents, the 61% gap in violent crime rates compared to the UK average is a critical insight, as it underscores the need for targeted interventions in high-risk areas.

Pembrokeshire’s crime rate in June 2025 rose to 9.0 per 1,000 residents, a 9.9% increase from May’s 8.2 per 1,000. This translates to roughly 38 crimes reported each day, or one crime for every 111 residents over the course of the month. While this rate remains higher than the UK average, the daily figure provides a tangible sense of how often crime intersects with daily life. For instance, a resident has a 1-in-111 chance of experiencing a reported crime during June, a metric that reflects both the local context and broader national trends. The shift in crime mix also reveals a growing emphasis on violent offences, which now account for over half of all crimes, compared to property crimes. This contrast with the UK’s higher proportion of property-related crimes underscores Pembrokeshire’s distinct challenges. The rise in violent crime may partly explain the increased exposure, though seasonal factors like summer tourism and longer evenings could also contribute. Understanding these dynamics helps residents contextualise their own risk and community efforts to address emerging patterns.
