Gwersyllt Crime Rate July 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Gwersyllt's crime rate for July 2025 stood at 8.0 per 1,000 residents, marking a 7.0% reduction compared to the UK average of 8.6. This improvement, while modest, reflects a broader trend in the built-up area's crime profile, where violent crimes constituted the largest share of reported incidents. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 36.0% of all crimes, with 27 cases recorded—slightly below the UK average for this category (3.0 per 1,000). The seasonal context of July, characterised by extended school holidays, festivals, and peak tourism, likely influenced these patterns. Anti-social behaviour, the second most common category (25.3% of incidents), remained a persistent issue but showed a minor decline, possibly linked to increased community activities during the summer. Meanwhile, criminal damage and arson. of total crimes, surged to 10 cases, a stark contrast to the UK average of 0.6 per 1,000. This anomaly may be attributed to the area's outdoor events, which often attract crowds and increase opportunities for vandalism. The data also highlights a mixed picture for property-related crimes: while shoplifting (6.7% of incidents) remained 23% below the UK average, the 400% increase from June suggests a need for targeted interventions. These findings underscore the combination of seasonal factors and local dynamics in shaping Gwersyllt's crime profile.

This spike aligns with the area's peak tourism season and summer festivals, which likely increased foot traffic in retail zones.

This sharp increase may be linked to the area's outdoor festivals, where vandalism is more prevalent.
