Milford Haven Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Violence and sexual offences dominate the crime profile in Milford Haven for June 2025, accounting for 54.7% of all reported crimes and 183% above the UK average. This category alone contributes to the area’s overall crime rate of 14.7 per 1,000 residents, which is 81.5% higher than the national average of 8.1 per 1,000. The prominence of violent crime may be influenced by the area’s role as a coastal destination, where summer tourism and the associated social interactions could contribute to higher rates of conflict and disorder. Anti-social behaviour and criminal damage also feature prominently, with the former at 9.9% of total crimes and the latter at 9.5%, both exceeding UK averages by 6% and 141%, respectively. These patterns align with the seasonal context of June, when extended daylight and the onset of summer activities may amplify opportunities for such crimes. The relatively low rates of vehicle crime and robbery, which are 73% and 9% below UK averages respectively, suggest that the built-up nature of the area may limit vehicle-related incidents, while the compact population and localised economy may reduce opportunities for robbery. The overall crime picture illustrates a combination of seasonal factors, local geography, and the dynamics of a small, densely populated coastal town.

June 2025 saw a 200% increase in possession of weapons, with incidents rising from one to three. This spike aligns with the start of summer, a period when public gatherings and outdoor events may heighten tensions. Shoplifting also surged by 57.1%, increasing from seven to 11 incidents, a trend consistent with the seasonal influx of tourists and the extended daylight hours typical of June. Conversely, vehicle crime dropped by 50%, from two to one incident, potentially reflecting reduced vehicle movement during summer holidays or increased security measures in car parks. The area’s violent crime rate remains 183% above the UK average, with violence and sexual offences accounting for over half of all reported crimes. This imbalance suggests that violent crime is the most pressing concern, likely driven by the area’s proximity to coastal tourism and the associated social dynamics during peak season.

Milford Haven’s crime rate in June 2025 rose by 14.1% compared to May, climbing from 12.9 to 14.7 per 1,000 residents. This increase positions the area’s crime rate 81.5% above the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000, a gap that has widened over the past year. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately eight crimes per day in June, a figure that, while localised, highlights the frequency of incidents within a small population of 16,485. Over the course of the month, one crime occurred for every 68 residents, a monthly exposure rate that underscores the relative density of incidents in a built-up area. This rate is higher than the UK average, though direct comparisons are not provided for daily or monthly exposure figures. The population context suggests that the area’s compact nature may contribute to higher visibility of crimes, particularly in public spaces and high-traffic areas.
