This page presents the open‑data record of auto theft incidents reported in Belleville, Ontario for the calendar year 2016. The dataset reflects the complete archive for that year, not the rolling 60‑day map window, and captures four documented auto thefts. The count is drawn from records with a usable occurrence year, and the period covers the full calendar year, ensuring consistency with other category pages for the city.
Those four incidents represent 0.2% of Belleville’s total of 2,008 recorded crimes across all categories for 2016, placing auto theft at the seventh rank out of seven categories, the lowest share among the city’s crime types. The modest number highlights that auto theft is a relatively rare occurrence compared with more prevalent categories such as Other (1,637 incidents) and Theft (175 incidents).
Auto theft ranks seventh out of seven crime categories in Belleville for 2016, making it the least common offence recorded.

With only four reported auto thefts in 2016, the category contributes a marginal 0.2% of Belleville’s overall crime count and sits at the bottom of the city’s crime hierarchy. The singular data point for the year shows no observable year‑over‑trend, as the series contains only the 2016 figure. This low incidence suggests that auto theft was an uncommon issue for the city during that calendar year, especially when compared with the dominant ‘Other’ category and the more frequent Theft offences.
Auto theft encompasses the unlawful taking of motor vehicles, including cars, trucks, motorcycles and related equipment. In Belleville's 2016 open‑data set, four incidents were recorded under this classification, representing a small fraction of overall crime. This low figure reflects that auto theft was not a prominent concern in that year.
Belleville reported four auto theft incidents in the calendar year 2016. These four cases represent 0.2% of the city’s total 2,008 recorded crimes for that year, placing the offence at the bottom of the seven crime categories tracked by the open‑data system.
Compared with other categories in Belleville for 2016, auto theft is the least frequent offence. The ‘Other’ category recorded 1,637 incidents, Theft 175, Assault 77, Mischief 68 and Break and enter 40. Auto theft’s four incidents amount to just 0.2% of the city total, ranking seventh out of seven categories.
The 0.2% share for auto theft is low because only four incidents were recorded in 2016, while the city recorded a total of 2,008 crimes across all categories. With ‘Other’ alone accounting for 1,637 incidents, the proportion of motor vehicle thefts is naturally small in the overall crime mix.
