Llanharan and Brynna Crime Rate February 2026 | Monthly Statistics

February 2026 marked a challenging period for crime in Llanharan and Brynna, with an overall crime rate of 9.9 per 1,000 residents—54.7% above the UK average of 6.4. The most significant contributor to this rate was violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 61.5% of all reported crimes. This category alone was 163% above the UK average, reflecting a stark divergence from national trends. Public order offences followed closely, comprising 11.5% of total crimes and 168% above the UK average. These figures highlight a concentration of violent and disruptive incidents in the area, potentially linked to the built-up nature of the locality and its proximity to other urban centres. Seasonal factors may also play a role: as a winter month, February typically sees lower outdoor activity, which could contribute to a pre-spring lull in some crime types but may also drive indoor disputes or alcohol-related incidents. Anti-social behaviour, while still present, was 12% below the UK average, indicating a potential focus on community policing or local initiatives that have helped mitigate certain forms of disorder. The data also reveals a sharp contrast in crime categories: while violent crimes dominate, property crimes such as burglary and shoplifting were comparatively low, with burglary at 1.3% of total incidents and shoplifting 83% below the UK average. This may reflect a combination of local demographics, the area’s infrastructure, and the impact of seasonal transitions on crime patterns. The challenge moving forward will be to address the elevated rates of violence and public order offences while maintaining the relative success in reducing property-related crimes.

February 2026 saw notable reductions in burglary, drugs, and other theft, with burglary plummeting by 83.3% (from six to one incident). These declines may reflect seasonal patterns, as winter months often see lower outdoor activity and reduced opportunities for property crimes. Conversely, theft from the person surged by 100%, rising from zero to three incidents, likely linked to increased foot traffic in local areas during colder weather. Bicycle theft also doubled, reaching one incident, possibly due to cyclists storing bikes in less secure locations during harsh conditions. Violent crimes remained significantly above the UK average, with violence and sexual offences at 6.1 per 1,000 (163% above the UK rate), underscoring persistent challenges in addressing antisocial behaviour. Anti-social behaviour, however, was 12% below the UK average, suggesting local efforts may have had a measurable impact.

The crime rate in Llanharan and Brynna rose from 8.0 to 9.9 per 1,000 residents between January and February 2026, marking a 23.7% increase. This brings the area’s rate to 54.7% above the UK average of 6.4 per 1,000. On a daily basis, the area recorded roughly three crimes per day in February, a figure that reflects local patterns but is not directly comparable to UK-wide daily averages. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 101 residents—a monthly exposure rate that highlights the frequency of incidents within a small population. With 7,907 residents, the area’s crime profile remains concentrated in a built-up environment, where social dynamics and local infrastructure may amplify certain types of offences. The rise in violent crimes, in particular, contrasts with the slight declines in burglary and drug-related incidents, suggesting shifting pressures within the community.
