Llanharan and Brynna Crime Rate May 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For a built-up area with 7,907 residents, the 86 crimes reported in May 2025 equate to 11 incidents per 1,000 people — a rate 34.6% higher than the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. This figure places Llanharan and Brynna among the areas with the most pronounced deviations from national norms, particularly in violent and public order offences. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 43% of all crimes, with a rate of 4.7 per 1,000 — 66% above the UK average. Anti-social behaviour, at 2.7 per 1,000, was 90% above the UK average, while public order offences surged to 1.6 per 1,000 (176% above the UK rate). These patterns may reflect the area’s seasonal rhythm, as May’s longer evenings and bank holidays could have extended opportunities for public disorder and anti-social conduct. The data also shows a marked imbalance in crime types, with property crimes (13 cases) comprising just 15.1% of the total, far below the UK’s typical distribution. This suggests a localised focus on interpersonal conflicts and community-level disturbances, which may be influenced by the area’s social fabric or environmental factors. The contrast with other UK regions, where property crimes often dominate, indicates a unique local challenge in managing community tensions and ensuring public safety during periods of increased social activity.

The most striking change in May 2025 was the 225% increase in public order offences, rising from 4 to 13 cases. This surge, combined with a 200% rise in anti-social behaviour (7 to 21 cases), suggests a significant shift in the area’s crime profile. These two categories alone accounted for 59.5% of all reported crimes, far exceeding their UK averages by 176% and 90% respectively. While violent crimes remained the most common type (43% of total), their rate of 4.7 per 1,000 still outpaced the UK average by 66%. Burglary and shoplifting both fell by 50% from April, though these rates remain below UK averages (burglary by 64%, shoplifting by 85%). For residents, the sharp rise in public order offences may be most immediately relevant, as it could indicate increased tensions during evening hours or events tied to the month’s bank holidays.

Llanharan and Brynna's crime rate in May 2025 rose sharply from 6.6 to 10.9 per 1,000 residents, a 65.3% increase. This jump raises questions about what might have shifted in the area’s dynamics during the month. On a daily basis, 3 crimes were reported each day in May — a figure that, while not directly comparable to national averages, highlights the local frequency of incidents. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 92 residents, a ratio that underscores the density of incidents within a relatively small population. This monthly exposure is particularly notable when considering the area’s built-up nature, which may concentrate activity and interaction in ways that amplify certain crime types. The contrast with the previous month’s rate suggests a possible seasonal influence, as May’s longer evenings and bank holidays could have altered patterns of public behaviour and, by extension, crime opportunities.
