Treherbert Crime Rate February 2026 | Monthly Statistics

Violence and sexual offences dominated the crime profile in Treherbert during February 2026, accounting for 50% of all reported crimes. This category, which saw a 16.7% increase compared to January, remains significantly above the UK average for the same category by 3%, despite the area's overall crime rate being 23.4% below the national figure. The dominance of violent crime in Treherbert may be influenced by the area's characteristics as a built-up community within Rhondda Cynon Taf, where social interactions and potential conflicts could contribute to such trends. Anti-social behaviour, the second most common category, rose sharply by 66.7%, reflecting seasonal patterns or local factors such as increased indoor gatherings during the winter months. In contrast, property-related crimes were less prominent, with only 5 incidents reported, a stark contrast to the 14 violent offences. This imbalance suggests that the area's crime profile is heavily weighted towards personal safety concerns rather than property crime. The seasonal context of February—a winter month with low outdoor activity and a pre-spring lull—may have influenced the crime patterns, with some categories benefiting from reduced opportunities for certain types of offences, while others, such as public order issues, saw significant increases. The overall crime rate of 4.9 per 1,000 residents, while lower than the UK average, underscores the need for targeted interventions in the most prevalent categories. The data illustrates a combination of local dynamics and broader seasonal trends, requiring a nuanced approach to crime prevention strategies in Treherbert.

February 2026 saw a 16.7% increase in violence and sexual offences, rising from 12 to 14 incidents, a trend that may be linked to seasonal factors or local dynamics. Anti-social behaviour also surged by 66.7%, with cases rising from 3 to 5, suggesting a possible shift in community interactions during this period. Conversely, criminal damage and arson fell by 50%, dropping from 6 to 3 incidents, which could indicate the impact of seasonal inactivity on such crimes. Other theft and vehicle crime both declined by 50%, from 2 to 1 incident each, reflecting reduced opportunities during the winter months. The breakdown reveals that public order offences in Treherbert are 71% above the UK average, highlighting a unique local challenge compared to national trends. These fluctuations offer insight into the changing nature of crime in the area, with some categories showing marked shifts that warrant attention.

Treherbert's crime rate in February 2026 dropped by 22.2% compared to January's 6.3 per 1,000 residents, marking a significant downward trend. This reduction aligns with the seasonal context of February, a winter month marked by reduced outdoor activity and a pre-spring lull. On a daily basis, the area recorded one reported crime per day over the 28-day period, a figure that may reflect the lower overall activity levels typical of this time of year. When considering the monthly exposure, one crime occurred for roughly every 205 residents, a statistic that provides context for the frequency of incidents within the local population. This rate is lower than the previous month's figure, suggesting a possible stabilization or improvement in local conditions. The population-scaled perspective further illustrates that while crime remains a concern, the current rate is significantly below the UK average, indicating a relatively safer environment compared to the national picture.
