Brynteg Crime Rate April 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Brynteg (Wrexham) recorded a crime rate of 6.6 per 1,000 residents in April 2025, marking a 14.3% reduction compared to the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. This decline positions the area as one of the safer built-up areas within Wrexham, though its profile remains distinct in terms of crime distribution. Violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 31.2% of all reported crimes, fell sharply by 44.1% compared to March, contributing significantly to the overall drop. This category’s rate of 2.1 per 1,000 is 20% below the UK average, a striking contrast to the 163% surge in criminal damage and arson, which rose to 1.5 per 1,000—well above the UK’s 0.6 per 1,000. The seasonal context of April, marked by Easter and spring weather, may have influenced outdoor activity and community interactions, potentially contributing to both declines and increases. Anti-social behaviour. to 13 incidents, remained slightly above the UK average, suggesting persistent challenges in certain areas. The mix of crime types—dominated by property-related incidents (44%) and violent offences—reflects a balance between local factors and broader trends. These patterns may be shaped by the area’s character as a built-up zone within Wrexham, where retail and residential areas intersect, though the exact drivers remain to be explored in more detail.

April 2025 saw a sharp decline in violence and sexual offences, falling by 44.1% to 19 reported incidents, a drop from 34 in March. This decrease may partly explain the overall reduction in the area’s crime rate, which is now 14.3% below the UK average. Concurrently, shoplifting surged by 400%, rising from one to five incidents, a spike that contrasts with the UK average, which is 24% higher for this category. Other theft and burglary both doubled, increasing by 200% each, though these remain below UK averages for their respective categories. The significant drop in public order offences—60% fewer than March—suggests a shift in community dynamics or policing focus. These changes highlight a mixed picture: while violent crime has fallen sharply, property-related crimes have risen, indicating potential challenges for local authorities in balancing priorities.

Brynteg’s crime rate in April 2025 fell by 21.9% compared to March 2025, dropping from 8.4 to 6.6 per 1,000 residents. This decline positions the area 14.3% below the UK average, a sustained trend that reflects broader local efforts or seasonal patterns. On a daily basis, the area experienced an average of two crimes per day, a figure that aligns with its population of 9,265. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 152 residents, a rate that suggests a relatively low exposure to crime compared to national benchmarks. While this monthly aggregate is useful for understanding risk, it does not capture the volatility of individual days. The population-scaled perspective reinforces that Brynteg’s crime profile remains distinct from the UK average, with property crimes and violent offences both showing shifts that may reflect community-specific factors. These figures, though static, offer context for residents assessing their local environment.
