Anti-social behaviour incidents are excluded because police do not publish outcomes for them. Outcomes are updated as cases progress, so these figures will change.

Figures are from South Wales Police street-level data on data.police.uk, published monthly about two months in arrears. They count reports, not convictions, and can be revised.
