Wrexham Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For a population of 138,245, Wrexham recorded 1,074 crimes in November 2025, translating to a crime rate of 7.8 per 1,000 residents. This figure places the area 6.8% above the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000, a disparity that reflects persistent challenges in crime prevention. The most prevalent crime type was violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 40.5% of all incidents, followed by anti-social behaviour (14.9%) and shoplifting (11.9%). These patterns align with November's seasonal dynamics, including the pre-Christmas shopping rush and the impact of dark evenings, which may contribute to higher rates of anti-social behaviour and theft. The dominance of violent crime in Wrexham’s crime profile contrasts with the UK average, where violent offences typically constitute a smaller share of total incidents. This suggests a need for targeted interventions in areas with high concentrations of violent crime, such as town centres or nightlife districts, where the convergence of multiple factors—including alcohol consumption and social interactions—may exacerbate tensions. The relatively low incidence of vehicle crime (26 cases) and burglary (18 cases) indicates that certain crime prevention measures, such as improved lighting or community surveillance, may be effective in these categories. However, the sharp rise in robbery and possession of weapons highlights a growing concern that requires urgent attention. Seasonal factors, such as Bonfire Night and Black Friday, may have played a role in influencing crime patterns, with increased foot traffic and late-night activity contributing to higher rates of theft and violence. The overall crime rate, while slightly down from the previous month, underscores the importance of maintaining consistent policing efforts and community engagement to address the root causes of crime in Wrexham.

November 2025 saw a significant 200% increase in robbery cases, rising from one to three incidents, a stark contrast to the 50% drop in theft from the person, which fell from two to one. Possession of weapons also surged by 57.1%, with reports climbing from seven to 11, highlighting a troubling trend in weapon-related offences. Meanwhile, shoplifting remained a persistent issue, with 128 cases recorded—43% above the UK average. The crime mix showed a clear dominance of violent crime, as violence and sexual offences accounted for 40.5% of all reported incidents, compared to 14.9% for anti-social behaviour. Vehicle crime was 50% below the UK average, with only 26 cases recorded, suggesting a potential success in addressing this category through targeted interventions. These fluctuations underscore the need for tailored strategies to address rising violent crimes while maintaining efforts to reduce property-related offences.

Wrexham's crime rate in November 2025 fell slightly to 7.8 per 1,000 residents, a 2.4% decrease from the previous month's 8.0 per 1,000. This translates to roughly 36 crimes reported each day in the local authority district. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 129 residents, a figure that contextualises the frequency of incidents for local residents. While the rate remains 6.8% above the UK average, the month-on-month decline suggests a potential stabilisation in crime trends. The population context is critical: with 138,245 residents, the absolute number of crimes (1,074) reflects a specific challenge for a town of this size, where community policing and local engagement may play a pivotal role in addressing persistent issues like violence and anti-social behaviour. The daily crime count provides a tangible metric for residents to gauge their personal risk, though it does not account for variations in crime distribution across different areas within Wrexham.
