Gresford Crime Rate April 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Gresford's crime rate in April 2025 stood at 1.2 per 1,000 residents, placing it 84.4% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. This figure reflects a consistently low-crime environment, with violent offences comprising the largest share of reported incidents. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 54.6% of total crimes, followed by anti-social behaviour at 27.3%. The area's crime profile is distinct from national trends, with all major categories — including burglary and other theft — recording rates significantly below UK averages. Seasonal factors may have played a role in shaping these figures, as the Easter period and spring weather typically bring increased outdoor activity and community engagement, which may contribute to lower crime rates. However, the sharp 100% increase in burglary highlights the need for targeted awareness, particularly during holidays when homes may be unoccupied. The overall decline in violent crime, despite the rise in property-related incidents, suggests a combination of local policing efforts and broader demographic patterns. Gresford's built-up character within the rural Wrexham area likely influences its crime dynamics, with limited commercial hubs and strong community ties reducing opportunities for certain types of crime.

April 2025 saw a 100% month-on-month increase in burglary, with one incident reported — a dramatic shift from zero in March. This spike, though small in absolute terms, contrasts with a 66.7% decrease in other theft, which dropped from three to one case. Violence and sexual offences also declined significantly, falling by 33.3% to six incidents — a reduction that may reflect the impact of Easter-related community activities or increased police visibility during the holiday period. Anti-social behaviour rose by 50%, climbing from two to three reports, though this remains well below the UK average of 1.3 per 1,000. The overall crime mix shifted towards property crimes, with violent offences now accounting for 54.6% of total incidents, compared to 73% of the UK average. Residents may find the burglary increase particularly notable, as it highlights the need for continued vigilance in securing homes during the Easter period.

Gresford's crime rate in April 2025 fell by 31.0% compared to March 2025, declining from 1.7 to 1.2 per 1,000 residents. This represents a marked improvement, with the area continuing to maintain a significantly lower crime profile than the UK average. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 834 residents — a figure that underscores the relatively low frequency of incidents in Gresford. Daily crime context shows that, on average, there were approximately 0 crimes reported per day across the built-up area. When scaled to population size, this further illustrates the area's safety relative to national trends, particularly in categories such as violence and sexual offences, which saw a 73% gap below the UK average. The drop in crime aligns with seasonal patterns, as spring weather and Easter-related activities may have encouraged more outdoor engagement, potentially deterring criminal activity in public spaces.
