Brynteg Crime Rate September 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Brynteg's crime rate in September 2024 remained aligned with the UK average at 7.7 per 1,000 residents, reflecting a stable but not stagnant security landscape. The most prevalent crime types were violence and sexual offences (27 incidents, 38% of total), followed by anti-social behaviour (21 incidents, 29.6%) and criminal damage and arson (7 incidents, 9.9%). This distribution suggests a combination of local factors, including the area's proximity to Wrexham's urban core and its role as a commuter hub. Seasonal dynamics in September—such as the return of students to local educational institutions and the onset of shorter evenings—may have contributed to the rise in violent crimes and anti-social behaviour. While the overall rate matches the UK average, the area's crime profile diverges significantly in specific categories. For instance, anti-social behaviour is 97% above the national average, a discrepancy that could be linked to the built-up nature of the area and its potential for concentrated social interactions. Meanwhile, vehicle crime and public order offences are lower than UK benchmarks, indicating that certain aspects of local policing or community engagement may be effective in mitigating these issues. The stability in the overall rate, however, does not obscure the need for targeted efforts in high-risk categories, particularly given the disproportionate prevalence of violent and anti-social crimes compared to the national picture.

September 2024 saw three crimes—possession of weapons, other crime, and robbery—jump from zero to one incident each, marking a 100% increase. This spike, though small in absolute terms, highlights emerging patterns that may reflect seasonal factors such as university freshers week or increased social activity in the area. Conversely, other theft dropped by 75% (from 4 to 1), suggesting a possible reduction in opportunistic crimes during the month. The crime mix also shifted significantly: violent crimes accounted for 38% of total incidents, 11% above the UK average, while anti-social behaviour (29.6%) and criminal damage (9.9%) were both substantially higher than national benchmarks. Public order offences were 46% below the UK average, a contrast that may reflect local policing priorities or community dynamics. These variations underscore the need for targeted interventions in high-risk categories while maintaining vigilance in areas showing unexpected declines.

Brynteg's crime rate in September 2024 remained stable at 7.7 per 1,000 residents, matching the previous month's rate of 7.6. This consistency suggests no significant shift in overall criminal activity despite seasonal changes. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately 2 crimes per day, a figure that aligns with the built-up nature of the area and its proximity to Wrexham's urban core. Over the course of the month, 1 crime was reported for every 130 residents, a metric that contextualises the monthly exposure for local households. When compared to the UK average, Brynteg's rate is identical, but the distribution of crime types diverges notably. The population of 9,265 means that each reported incident carries a measurable impact on community safety, particularly in areas with higher concentrations of anti-social behaviour and violent crime. This daily and monthly context helps residents gauge the frequency of incidents relative to their own experiences, though the lack of a UK-wide daily comparison limits broader contextualisation.
