Gwersyllt Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Gwersyllt's crime profile in June 2025 reveals a combination of trends, with anti-social behaviour emerging as a stark outlier compared to the UK average. The area's overall crime rate of 7.0 per 1,000, 13.6% below the national average of 8.1, suggests a generally safer environment than the UK as a whole. However, the dominance of violence and sexual offences—accounting for 37.9% of all crimes—points to a significant focus on interpersonal crime, a pattern that may reflect local social dynamics or environmental factors. Anti-social behaviour, at 2.2 per 1,000, was 55% above the UK average of 1.4, indicating a potential concentration of disruptive activity in specific neighbourhoods or venues. This could be linked to the start of summer, when increased foot traffic, outdoor events, or extended daylight hours may contribute to higher levels of public disorder. The seasonal context of June—marking the beginning of the summer months—may also explain the rise in burglary, vehicle crime, and drug-related incidents, all of which saw 100% increases compared to May. These spikes could be influenced by transient populations, such as seasonal workers or tourists, or by shifts in criminal activity patterns during warmer weather. Conversely, the decline in criminal damage and arson, which fell by 16.7%, may reflect targeted policing efforts or a natural reduction in incidents as the summer season progresses. The overall crime rate, while lower than the UK average, underscores the need for continued monitoring of specific categories that deviate significantly from national trends, particularly in areas where local conditions may amplify or mitigate crime risks.

June 2025 marked a sharp rise in three specific crime categories: burglary, vehicle crime, and drugs, each doubling from zero to two or three incidents. This surge, while statistically significant, contrasts with the 16.7% decrease in criminal damage and arson, which fell from six to five cases. Anti-social behaviour, accounting for 31.8% of total crimes, was 55% above the UK average of 1.4 per 1,000, highlighting a localised issue that may be influenced by summer activities or events. The increase in burglary—despite the area's generally low crime rate—suggests possible vulnerabilities in security during the summer months, when tourist activity or extended street lighting may alter patterns of opportunity. For residents, the 1-in-142 monthly exposure to crime provides a tangible measure of risk, though this remains lower than the UK average. The absence of shoplifting and public order offences, both significantly below UK averages, indicates that Gwersyllt's crime profile diverges from national trends in these categories.

Gwersyllt's crime rate in June 2025 rose by 26.9% compared to May's 5.5 per 1,000, reaching 7.0 per 1,000. This increase, while notable, remains 13.6% below the UK average of 8.1. Locally, the daily crime count averaged two incidents per day, a figure that reflects the area's relatively low overall crime profile. Over the course of June, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 142 residents, illustrating the monthly exposure to crime in a way that contextualises the statistic for residents. This rate, while higher than May's, still places Gwersyllt in the lower half of UK built-up areas when considering crime rates. The population of 9,402 means that each resident faces a 0.07% chance of being directly involved in a crime, a figure that remains significantly lower than the UK average. The shift in crime mix—from property-related offences in previous months to a more pronounced presence of violent and anti-social crimes—suggests a seasonal or situational change in criminal activity patterns.
