Pembroke Dock Crime Rate March 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Violence and sexual offences dominated Pembroke Dock's crime profile in March 2025, accounting for 53.3% of all reported incidents and driving the area's overall crime rate to 11.1 per 1,000 — 42.3% above the UK average. This stark divergence from national trends underscores the area's unique challenges, with violent crime rates at 5.9 per 1,000, more than double the UK average for this category. The seasonal transition to spring may have influenced patterns, as longer evenings and clock changes could have altered social dynamics, contributing to the high prevalence of violent incidents. Property crime, while less prevalent than violence, also showed notable disparities, with burglary rates at 0.8 per 1,000 — 186% above the UK average — a figure that likely reflects the area's built-up nature and potential vulnerabilities in residential security. Anti-social behaviour, in contrast, fell 28% below the UK average, indicating local initiatives or community cohesion efforts. The data highlights a combination of geographical factors and local conditions, where the urban character of Pembroke Dock, combined with seasonal transitions, may amplify certain crime types while mitigating others. As the area moves into spring, these patterns will require continued monitoring to address the root causes of violent crime and property-related incidents.

March 2025 saw a stark increase in bicycle theft, which more than doubled from zero to three incidents, a 100.0% rise. Robbery also surged by 100.0%, with one reported incident, while burglary rose sharply from four to eight cases. These spikes contrast with declines in other theft (down 63.6%) and vehicle crime (down 50.0%), suggesting a shift in criminal focus. Violence and sexual offences remained the dominant category, with a rate of 5.9 per 1,000 — 116% above the UK average — a figure that underscores the area's specific challenges. Anti-social behaviour, however, fell below the UK average by 28%, possibly reflecting local community efforts or seasonal dynamics. For residents, the sharp increase in bicycle theft highlights the need for vigilance in securing personal property, particularly as spring activities resume.

Pembroke Dock's crime rate in March 2025 (11.1 per 1,000) marked a 7.0% decrease from the previous month's rate of 11.9 per 1,000, reflecting a slight but notable shift in local crime patterns. On a daily basis, the area experienced roughly three crimes per day over the 31-day period, a figure that contextualises the frequency of incidents for residents. When scaled to the population, the monthly exposure translates to one reported crime occurring for approximately every 90 residents, underscoring the level of risk faced by the community. This rate, while lower than the prior month, still places Pembroke Dock significantly above the UK average, highlighting the need for continued local analysis. The population context further illustrates that, despite the reduction, the area's crime rate remains high compared to national trends, particularly in violent and property-related categories. This comparison offers a clear snapshot of how local conditions diverge from broader UK patterns, even as month-on-month fluctuations suggest temporary shifts in criminal activity.
