About this data
This page summarizes reported crime activity in Burnaby, British Columbia for September 2026, when 161 incidents were recorded as the last complete calendar month with published counts. The figures reflect the September 2026 calendar month only, not a year-to-date total and not the interactive map's rolling window. Dated records in the underlying file span from 2025-01-01 to 2026-09-30, with coverage for 2025 to 2026.
The details are drawn from the official police and municipal open-data portal serving British Columbia, which publishes incident locations and categories for mapping and comparison. For context, the 2026 year-to-date mix through September is led by property offences, while the interactive map shows 344 incidents in its most recent 60 days. Reviewing the monthly count alongside the longer mix helps readers see both what happened in September and how it fits the year so far.
Recent trend
Year-over-year change is not available for the September 2026 selected period because there is no complete-year pair to compare. The on-disk archive holds 4,051 incidents across 2025 to 2026, with 2,336 incidents in 2025 and 1,715 incidents in 2026. Since 2026 reflects year-to-date records through September, it does not represent a full calendar year and cannot be compared directly with the complete 2025 total as an annual change. The September count of 161 incidents should therefore be read as a monthly snapshot within a two-year archive, rather than evidence of a yearly rise or decline.
Category breakdown
For 2026 year-to-date through September, the open-data mix in Burnaby consists of three property categories within 1,715 dated incidents. Theft from vehicle is the most common category with 896 incidents, representing 52.2% of the year-to-date records. Break and enter follows with 637 incidents, or 37.1%, while Auto theft accounts for 182 incidents, or 10.6%. These category counts describe the 2026 year-to-date period through September, not the 161 incidents recorded in September 2026 alone. The ordering shows Theft from vehicle ahead of Break and enter and Auto theft in the published mix for the year so far. No other category appears in the top three for this period.
What this means
Burnaby's September 2026 count of 161 incidents sits against a 2026 year-to-date pattern dominated by Theft from vehicle at 896 incidents and 52.2%, followed by Break and enter at 637 incidents and 37.1%. With Auto theft at 182 incidents and 10.6%, the published mix contains only these three property categories in the top ranks. Readers comparing months should keep the September monthly figure separate from the 1,715 year-to-date records and the 344 incidents shown in the 60-day map window.
FAQ
How many incidents were recorded in Burnaby in September 2026?
Burnaby recorded 161 incidents in September 2026, which was the last complete calendar month with published counts. That monthly headline is separate from the 2026 year-to-date total of 1,715 incidents through September. The interactive map uses a different 60-day rolling window with 344 incidents, so its total will not match the September monthly count.
What type of incident was most commonly reported in Burnaby?
Theft from vehicle was the most commonly reported category in the 2026 year-to-date mix through September, with 896 incidents representing 52.2% of that grouping. Break and enter was second with 637 incidents, followed by auto theft with 182 incidents. These category counts describe the 2026 year-to-date period through September, not just the 161 incidents recorded in September 2026 alone.
Has the number of incidents in Burnaby gone up or down compared with last year?
Year-over-year change is not available for this period because 2026 remains incomplete through September. The archive series lists 2,336 incidents in 2025 and 1,715 incidents in 2026 year-to-date through September. Because the 2026 figure covers only January through September, it should not be treated as a full annual total or directly compared with the complete 2025 calendar year.
Which Burnaby neighbourhoods have the most incidents?
Neighbourhood-level breakdowns are not available for this Burnaby source, so incidents cannot be ranked by neighbourhood from the current feed. The published total of 161 incidents for September 2026 is reported at the city level only. The same city-level reporting applies to the 1,715 incidents in the 2026 year-to-date file through September.
Where does the Burnaby data on this page come from?
The figures come from the official police and municipal open-data portal for British Columbia that feeds this Burnaby page. The September 2026 headline of 161 incidents and the 2026 year-to-date category mix of 1,715 incidents both derive from that open file. The on-disk archive for Burnaby spans 2025 to 2026 with 4,051 incidents across those two calendar years.
How up to date is the Burnaby data?
The data is current through 30 September 2026, with September 2026 as the last complete calendar month with published counts and 161 incidents. The year-to-date category breakdown runs through the same September end date. The interactive map shows a separate 60-day rolling window with 344 incidents, which is fresher for browsing but does not replace the monthly headline.
