Llanharan and Brynna Crime Rate October 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Llanharan and Brynna recorded a crime rate of 6.3 per 1,000 residents in October 2025, placing the area 18.2% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. This figure reflects a slight seasonal shift, with darker evenings and Halloween likely contributing to fluctuations in reported incidents. Violence and sexual offences remained the most prevalent category, accounting for 48% of total crimes, followed by Public order (14%) and Other theft (12%). The dominance of violent crime contrasts with the UK average, where property crimes typically constitute a larger share. This pattern may be consistent with the area's character as a built-up urban centre within Rhondda Cynon Taf, where social interactions and community density can influence crime profiles. The seasonal context of October—marked by the clocks going back and increased nocturnal activity—may have amplified certain types of crime, such as Public order offences, which saw a 70% surge above the UK average. However, the area's overall safety remains evident, with property-related crimes (24 total) comprising less than half of all incidents. This balance between violent and property crime suggests a dynamic local environment where community policing and targeted interventions could play a crucial role in sustaining the current low crime rate.

October 2025 saw a dramatic 500% increase in Other theft, rising from one to six incidents, marking the most significant month-on-month swing in the area. This spike may partly explain the broader shift in crime mix, with property-related offences accounting for 24% of total crimes compared to 48% for violent crimes, a reversal from previous months. Public order offences rose by 70% above the UK average, despite a 41.7% month-on-month decrease from 12 to 7 incidents. This anomaly highlights the combination of local dynamics and national trends. Meanwhile, Anti-social behaviour fell by 25%, aligning with the UK average for this category. Residents may find the 100% increase in Vehicle crime and Drugs-related incidents particularly noteworthy, as these categories previously fell below the UK average by 76% and 64% respectively.

The crime rate in Llanharan and Brynna rose by 4.1% from 6.1 to 6.3 per 1,000 residents in October 2025 compared to the previous month, reflecting a slight upward trend. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately two crimes per day, a figure that contextualises the pace of incidents for local residents. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 158 residents, a metric that highlights the relative frequency of crime within the population. This monthly exposure rate, while low compared to the UK average, underscores the importance of sustained community engagement and policing efforts. The population-scaled perspective reveals that the area remains significantly safer than the UK average, with crime rates 18.2% below the national figure. However, the slight increase from September suggests a need for continued monitoring, particularly as seasonal factors such as darker evenings and Halloween may influence local patterns of activity.
