Milford Haven Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For every resident of Milford Haven, the crime rate of 11.0 per 1,000 in November 2025 means a 1 in 91 chance of encountering a reported crime during the month. This figure, 50.7% above the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000, highlights the area’s distinct challenges in public safety. Violent crime dominates the crime picture, accounting for 48.1% of all incidents, with 87 reports—over double the UK average for this category. Anti-social behaviour and public order offences follow closely, contributing 9.4% each, both of which are significantly above national rates. The seasonal context of November, with its dark evenings and Bonfire Night events, may have amplified tensions in public spaces, aligning with the sharp rise in violence and disorder. While the built-up area’s proximity to Pembrokeshire’s coastal routes might explain some property crime patterns, the high rate of violent incidents suggests deeper issues tied to local demographics or social dynamics. The absence of significant property crime compared to the UK average—burglary and vehicle crime are both below national levels—contrasts with the elevated violence, pointing to a crime profile shaped more by interpersonal conflict than economic factors. Residents navigating Milford Haven’s streets in November would encounter a landscape where violent crime is more prevalent than in most parts of the UK, necessitating heightened awareness in communal areas.

November saw a 100% increase in vehicle crime, rising from 0 to 1 incident, a stark anomaly in an area typically low for such offences. Possession of weapons also surged by 100%, with reports jumping from 4 to 8, marking a concerning escalation in weapons-related incidents. Meanwhile, burglary fell by 42.9%, dropping from 7 to 4 cases, possibly reflecting heightened security measures or seasonal factors. Anti-social behaviour decreased by 41.4%, with incidents falling from 29 to 17, a shift that may be linked to shorter evenings and reduced public gatherings. Violent crime, however, remains 106% above the UK average, with 87 incidents reported—over double the national rate for this category. These fluctuations underscore the uneven nature of local crime patterns, where some categories trend downward while others, particularly those tied to public order, remain persistently elevated.

The crime rate in Milford Haven for November 2025 stood at 11.0 per 1,000 residents, a 7.2% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 11.8 per 1,000. This slight decline suggests a possible stabilization in local crime trends, though the overall rate remains significantly higher than the UK average. Over the course of November, 181 crimes were reported across 30 days, equating to roughly 6 crimes per day. For residents, this translates to a monthly exposure of 1 reported crime for every 91 people, highlighting the frequency of incidents in the built-up area. While the drop from October may reflect seasonal factors such as shorter evenings and reduced Black Friday shopping activity, the persistent elevation in violent crime compared to the UK average indicates ongoing challenges in public safety. The population context further underscores that even small fluctuations in crime numbers have a tangible impact on daily life, particularly in a community of 16,485 residents where every incident is felt more acutely.
