Rhosllannerchrugog Crime Rate July 2025 | Monthly Statistics

In July 2025, Rhosllannerchrugog’s crime rate of 8.7 per 1,000 residents placed the area 1.2% above the UK average, a marginal difference that reflects both local dynamics and broader national trends. The most prevalent crime type was anti-social behaviour, which accounted for 36.7% of all incidents and occurred at a rate of 3.2 per 1,000 residents—106% above the UK average. This stark contrast highlights the area’s unique challenges, particularly in managing community interactions during the summer months when tourism and local events bring increased foot traffic. Violence and sexual offences followed, making up 31.6% of all crimes.7 per 1,000 was 11% below the UK average. This discrepancy may be partly explained by the area’s built-up character and the presence of local amenities that could contribute to higher rates of interpersonal conflict. Seasonal factors also played a role: July, a peak month for festivals and outdoor gatherings, likely exacerbated anti-social behaviour and public order issues. At the same time, the relatively low rates of shoplifting and vehicle crime—both 54% and 49% below the UK average, respectively—suggest that targeted efforts, such as improved retail security or community policing, may be mitigating these risks. While the overall crime rate remains stable, the sharp rise in burglary and public order offences indicates that local authorities may need to reassess strategies to address these specific vulnerabilities, particularly as the summer season progresses.

July 2025 saw a dramatic 300% increase in burglary cases, rising from one to four incidents. This surge, though small in absolute terms, may reflect heightened activity during the summer months when properties are unoccupied or less monitored. Public order offences also doubled, likely tied to the area’s seasonal context: July is a peak time for festivals, outdoor events, and tourism, all of which can strain local resources and increase tensions. Meanwhile, anti-social behaviour remained the most common crime, accounting for 36.7% of all incidents. At 3.2 per 1,000, this rate is 106% above the UK average, suggesting a localised challenge that may stem from the area’s built-up nature and transient populations. Conversely, shoplifting and other theft decreased significantly, with shoplifting dropping by 57.1% to three incidents. This decline could be linked to increased retail security measures or seasonal shifts in consumer behaviour.

Rhosllannerchrugog’s crime rate in July 2025 rose to 8.7 per 1,000 residents, a 3.2% increase from June’s 8.4 per 1,000. This places the area 1.2% above the UK average of 8.6 per 1,000. On a daily basis, the area experienced roughly three crimes per day, a figure that may feel more tangible for residents. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 115 residents, a ratio that highlights the relative scale of crime in a community of 11,317 people. This monthly exposure is consistent with broader patterns in built-up areas within Wrexham, where seasonal fluctuations and local events can influence reporting rates. While the increase is modest, it underscores the need for ongoing vigilance, particularly in areas where anti-social behaviour and public order offences have risen sharply compared to the UK average.
