Break and enter in Burnaby

This page examines break and enter incidents in Burnaby, British Columbia, using the city's open-data crime feed. Break and enter is one of three property-crime categories covered in this dataset, alongside theft from vehicle and auto theft. The total for this category is 480 reported incidents, which represents 35% of Burnaby's city-wide total of 1,371 incidents. All counts are as published in the open-data feed.

The 480 figure is the 2026 year-to-date count through July, taken from the full archive rather than the rolling 60-day map window. Because the year is still in progress, this total is not a full calendar year. Break and enter ranks 2nd among the three categories by count, below theft from vehicle and above auto theft. City-wide, the published feed records 1,371 incidents across all categories.

About this dataset

Frequently asked questions about Break and enter in Burnaby

What is the total number of break and enter incidents in Burnaby's open-data feed?

How does break and enter compare with other property-crime categories in Burnaby?

Is the 2026 count a full-year figure?

No. The 480 incidents are a year-to-date count through July 2026, so they cover roughly seven months rather than a complete calendar year. The 2025 series, by comparison, shows 744 incidents for the full year. Because the 2026 window is incomplete, the two numbers should not be read as a direct annual change.

Does the 480 figure include undated records?

No. The published feed shows 480 dated break and enter incidents for the 2026 year-to-date period and 0 undated records. That means the category total matches the dated count exactly. The date range in the archive runs from January 1, 2025, through July 31, 2026.
