Key stats

What these numbers mean

Theft from vehicle's dominance is striking: at 231 incidents, it outnumbers break and enter and auto theft combined. This 56% concentration in a single category suggests either elevated targeting of parked vehicles or particularly strong reporting/recovery documentation for this offence type. With 2026 as the sole data point, whether this represents typical Burnaby patterns or an anomalous year remains unknown.
