Gwent Police's Moriah team, which covers Rhymney, has made intelligence development with the community its priority. Businesses on the town's industrial estates can add to that picture, with patrol reports and camera footage that record what happens after hours.
Trusted Protection in Rhymney
When a neighbourhood team asks for intelligence from the community, businesses are part of that community. In Rhymney, Police.uk logged 1,038 offences within a mile last year, including 129 cases of criminal damage and arson and 81 vehicle crimes. Patrol officers who log what they see, CCTV towers that capture activity on estates, and alarm response with written reports all create records that owners can share with Gwent Police. Six industrial estates within 5km show how much there is to watch.
Rhymney Business Profile
Caerphilly has 4,115 registered businesses, with construction the largest sector at 780 firms. Professional services account for 380 and hospitality for 365. Manufacturing, at 7.0% against 4.6% nationally, is a notable presence, and production units benefit from static guarding, controlled access at the gate and alarm response outside working hours. Five construction sites are mapped within 5km, adding a need for towers and patrols.
The motor trade makes up 5.0% of local firms, above the British 3.0%. Garages and forecourts are exposed to vehicle theft overnight, which towers and patrols help deter. Rhymney is covered from our wider officer network: every officer holds an SIA licence, is vetted to BS 7858 and employed through PAYE, and GPS book-on records each visit.
The Little Theatre and the Wild Boar Amphitheatre are the named venues within 5km of Rhymney. Events drawing 200 or more people will be caught by Martyn's Law once it begins, and our licensed stewards can assist. What Martyn's Law means for venues.
