Police forces in Wales have seen crime fall sharply during the lockdown.
While officers have been busy patrolling areas to enforce the guidelines set down by the UK Government, there has been a dramatic fall in crimes such as burglary, rape and assault.
Dyfed Powys Police said that overall crime compared to the same period in 2019 is down 35%.
Detectives in Cardiff are investigating an alleged attempted murder in the city on Easter Monday, but South Wales Police said that there has been a 32% reduction in overall crime between March 23 and April 15.
Gwent Police also confirmed it has seen a 23% drop in crime during the lockdown.
That is above the UK average, which has seen a 28% fall in crimes since the country was locked down to battle the coronavirus.
The government rushed in emergency powers four weeks ago to enforce the lockdown, restricting when people could leave their homes and limiting gatherings to two people.
Burglary, vehicle crime and serious assault are all down, and there are reports that drug dealers trying to keep peddling their trade on the deserted streets of lockdown Britain are standing out like a sore thumb.
Police said they are making "far more arrests" because drug dealers are drawing attention to themselves when they go outside.
The rail network - normally a key part of the county lines business model - has been eschewed in favour of the roads, which police are patrolling for people breaking the lockdown guidelines.
Gwent's deputy chief constable Amanda Blakeman said her force has seen drops in theft, shoplifting and violence, especially because of the lack of a nighttime economy with bars and clubs being closed.
She said: "Certain crimes are down but we have made a real effort to make sure our officers are out and about and visible making sure the message of staying at home is being adhered to."
She added that they were encouraging women suffering domestic abuse to get in touch.
"They will be listened to and there are safe places available and help on hand."
Dyfed-Powys chief constable Mark Collins said that their work continued to protect communities across the four counties they serve.
He added: "Whilst our population number in relative terms is small, we cover half of the landmass of Wales.
"Annually we welcome more than ten million people to our area, and while together with our partners we have said for now, our counties are closed, some people haven’t listened to this and have continued to put communities and the NHS at risk.
“My officers have been out there for the last two weeks, since the legislation was introduced, working hard to engage and educate those who are out and about with no reasonable excuse.
“The vast majority of our communities are complying with what we have all been asked to do, and I hope discussion today in relation to the action we have taken against those who risk putting us all in danger, sends a sign that Dyfed-Powys Police will do all we can to help this national effort succeed.”
Dafydd Llywelyn, the Police and Crime Commissioner for Dyfed-Powys, said the figures show the exceptional proactive work of the force.
He said: " I have been impressed with the level of activity across the Force area during this critical time and I would like to publicly thank officers, staff and volunteers working hard to safeguard our communities.
"I am also proud of the majority of the public who have responded positively to the guidelines and have shown resolve and patients during this difficult time.
"In terms of the workforce abstraction rate and overall change to crime related demand, it is very pleasing and reassuring to see that we compare well to the national averages."
North Wales Police reported a drop in crime in some areas, but a rise in online scams.
Temporary assistant chief constable Nigel Harrison said: "Clearly the restrictions are changing crime patterns.
"Where over the last three weeks we have seen a reduction in violence in public spaces and also retail offences to name a couple of areas.
"However, online crime continues and criminals are taking the opportunity to target unsuspecting individuals.
"We want to encourage those experiencing domestic abuse to get in contact with us or other support services .
"We continue to target those who cause the most harm while doing everything we can to support our communities during this time while helping to protect the NHS capacity."
