Rising Burglary Rates in Wales – A Stark Reminder to Review Home Security

Rising Burglary Rates in Wales – A Stark Reminder to Review Home Security

At SECUREIT, one of the fastest-growing fire prevention and CCTV security solutions providers in Wales, we were concerned to read the latest figures from the Office for National Statistics showing a sharp rise in residential burglaries in parts of our region.

The Dyfed-Powys Police area – covering Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion, Pembrokeshire, and Powys – has reported the highest percentage increase in home burglaries in Wales and England, with a 27% rise in the year to December 2024. Even allowing for a change in crime reporting systems, the force confirmed a real increase of 26%.

These figures highlight the urgent need for homeowners to assess and upgrade their home security provisions. Stories like that of Dafydd Jones, a car mechanic from Ceredigion who had thousands of pounds worth of tools stolen from his shed, underscore just how impactful and distressing these crimes can be.

At SECUREIT, we believe every home deserves to feel safe. We provide complete residential security solutions tailored to protect domestic properties across Wales. From burglar alarms and monitored intruder systems to cutting-edge CCTV and smart access control, we offer peace of mind when it matters most.

“A professionally installed home security system doesn’t just protect property, it protects people’s lives and livelihoods,” says Philip Popham, Managing Director of SECUREIT. “We’ve seen time and again how visible, audible, and monitored systems can deter criminals, reduce the risk of break-ins, and help bring offenders to justice.”

With burglary figures on the rise, now is the time for homeowners across Wales – especially in the Dyfed-Powys region – to take proactive steps. Whether you’re looking to install your first system or upgrade an older setup, our expert in-house engineers are ready to help.
