Llanharan and Brynna Crime Rate August 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Llanharan and Brynna’s crime rate of 9.5 per 1,000 residents in August 2025 places the area 17.3% above the UK average, a significant deviation that warrants closer examination. The most prevalent crimes were violence and sexual offences (33.3% of total incidents), followed by anti-social behaviour (29.3%) and public order offences (16.0%). These figures contrast sharply with the UK averages for these categories, where anti-social behaviour is 92% higher and public order offences are 159% higher. Seasonal factors likely contribute to these patterns, as August is a peak holiday month, potentially increasing the risk of burglary in empty homes. However, the area’s violent crime rate, while above the UK average, decreased by 45.7% compared to the previous month, possibly reflecting targeted interventions or seasonal changes in criminal activity. The sharp rise in anti-social behaviour, which surged 450% from four to 22 incidents, may indicate a need for community-based strategies to address underlying tensions. Meanwhile, the relatively low rates of vehicle crime (74% below the UK average) and other theft (22% below) suggest that some aspects of local crime prevention are effective. The interplay of these factors paints a complex picture of an area grappling with specific challenges while maintaining pockets of success in crime reduction.

August 2025 saw a dramatic 450% increase in anti-social behaviour, rising from four to 22 incidents. This surge, coupled with a 300% rise in burglary cases, suggests a shift in crime patterns that may be linked to seasonal factors such as holiday-related absences or increased social gatherings. Conversely, vehicle crime fell by 66.7%, dropping from three to one incident, a decline that may reflect heightened awareness or targeted policing efforts in high-risk areas. Violent crime also decreased by 45.7%, from 46 to 25 incidents, though the rate remains 11% above the UK average. Other theft was 22% below the UK average, indicating effective measures in this category. These contrasting trends highlight the complexity of local crime dynamics, with some areas showing marked improvement while others remain concerning. For residents, the sharp rise in anti-social behaviour underscores the need for community engagement strategies to address underlying causes.

Llanharan and Brynna’s August 2025 crime rate of 9.5 per 1,000 residents marks a 7.3% decline from the previous month’s 10.2 per 1,000. This downward trend contrasts with the area’s 17.3% above the UK average, highlighting persistent challenges despite the drop. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately two crimes per day in August, a figure that, while modest, reflects the concentrated nature of incidents. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 105 residents, a monthly exposure rate that underscores the frequency of incidents in a relatively small population. When compared to the UK average, the area’s violent crime rate is 11% higher, and anti-social behaviour is 92% above the national figure, suggesting local factors such as community dynamics or policing strategies may be influencing these disparities. The population context—7,907 residents—means each incident has a measurable impact on the community, with fewer resources potentially stretching further in addressing these issues.
