Overall Crime Rate Of 174.7 Crimes Per 1000 People
One of the more thriving economies in South East Wales, Cwmbran boasts a substantial population given its relatively small size. Unfortunately though, as is often the case, that boosted population means a rising crime rate, and Cwmbran is no exception, reaching 174.7 crimes per 1000 residents.
There’s soaring numbers across violent crime (755 incidents), antisocial behaviour (466 incidents) and public order offences (352 incidents), but equally concerning for Cwmbran security is the exploding rates of shoplifting (289 incidents), which is more than 5 times the average for the area.
