Criminal offenses have been reduced by more than 21% in the municipality of Santa María de Cayón from January to September compared to the same period in 2024, a decrease that is due to the fall of both conventional crime and cybercrime.

This has been detailed this Thursday by the government delegate in Cantabria, Pedro Casares, in the Local Security Board that has presided alongside the mayor of Santa María de Cayón, Francisco Viar, and in which the head of the Civil Guard, Lieutenant Colonel Julio Postigo, along with other commanders of the body and representatives of the Local Police have also participated.

Casares has indicated that, in the first nine months of 2025, in Santa María de Cayón conventional crime has been reduced by almost 21%, going from 181 to 143 infractions, and cybercrime, with a reduction also of 21% (from 57 to 47 crimes).

He also pointed out that there has been a 35.29% reduction in burglaries in homes and establishments (from 17 to 11), a decrease of 63.64% (from 11 to 4) in the specific case of burglaries in homes.

At this point, the delegate has highlighted the importance of these results as they are criminal acts that generate social alarm and that have been significantly reduced compared to 2024.

In addition, the Local Security Board has analyzed the data of the VioGén System, which contains 25 active cases in the municipality and is monitored by both the Civil Guard and the Local Police.
