Burnaby crime in 2026

Burnaby recorded 1,371 reported incidents in 2026, down from 2,336 in 2025. Because 2026 data covers only part of the year, the year-over-year drop should not be read as a full annual decline. This year's count is 37% of the full city archive total of 3,707. Theft from vehicle led with 749 incidents, followed by break and enter (480) and auto theft (142).

Burnaby crime 2026

Burnaby's open-data archive shows 1,371 reported incidents attributed to 2026 so far. This is a partial-year count, not a full 12-month total, and it is drawn from the city's current open-data release. Across the two years in this archive, Burnaby's combined record count stands at 3,707, with 2026 accounting for 37 per cent of those records.

The raw 2026 count is lower than the 2,336 incidents recorded in all of 2025, but the two figures are not directly comparable because 2026 is still in progress. The available 2026 category data is led by theft from vehicle, break and enter, and auto theft. Those counts may rise as additional 2026 records are published.

Year-over-year

Burnaby's 2026 year-to-date total is 1,371 records, compared with 2,336 records for all of 2025. This is not a complete comparison: 2026 is an open or partial reporting year, so the lower count partly reflects the shorter reporting window. In this archive, 2026 ranks second among the two years, with 3,707 records across 2025 and 2026 combined. These are reported-incident counts, not per-capita risk measures. No year-over-year percentage is calculated here because the 2026 window is incomplete. Any trend reading should wait for the full 2026 calendar-year total.

Key stats

What these numbers mean

Theft from vehicle is the standout category in Burnaby's partial 2026 data, with 749 records, well ahead of break and enter at 480 and auto theft at 142. The year-to-date total of 1,371 places 2026 second among the two archived years, behind 2025's 2,336 full-year count. Because 2026 is still in progress, the final ranking may change as additional records are published.

About this dataset
