This page presents the open‑data record of reported theft incidents in Cobourg, Ontario. The figures are drawn from the municipality’s full incident archive and represent the latest calendar year, 2026, covering the year‑to‑date period through May. Because the dataset is based on recorded police reports, it reflects incidents that have been formally logged, not the broader set of unreported events. The data window is distinct from the 60‑day rolling map tier that powers the interactive map.
During this YTD period, 114 thefts were recorded, accounting for 5.6% of the city’s total of 2,030 incidents across all crime categories. Theft ranks second among six reported categories, behind the ‘Other’ category, which recorded 1,830 incidents, and ahead of assault (50), mischief (23), break‑and‑enter (8) and auto theft (5). The series includes only the 2026 YTD count, so no year‑over‑year change can be derived at this time.
Theft stands as the second‑most common offence in Cobourg, positioned after the broad ‘Other’ category and ahead of the remaining five categories. With 114 incidents it surpasses assault’s 50 reports, mischief’s 23, break‑and‑enter’s 8 and auto theft’s 5, illustrating its relative prominence in the city’s overall crime landscape.
Theft emerges as the city’s second‑most common offence, comprising 5.6% of all recorded incidents despite representing just 114 cases through May 2026. The dominance of the ‘Other’ category masks the relatively modest volume of theft compared with violent offences such as assault, which recorded only 50 incidents. Because the dataset only includes the 2026 year‑to‑date count, no comparative trend can be identified, leaving the current level of theft as the primary insight for policymakers and residents.
The open‑data feed records 114 theft incidents in Cobourg for the 2026 reporting period, which runs from the start of the year through May. This figure reflects incidents that have been formally logged by police and represents the most recent YTD total available.
Theft makes up 5.6% of all recorded crime in Cobourg, which totals 2,030 incidents across every category. This share highlights theft as a modest but notable portion of the city’s overall offence landscape. When compared with the leading ‘Other’ category at 1,830 incidents, theft’s contribution remains relatively smaller.
With 114 incidents, theft ranks second among six crime categories in Cobourg. It trails the ‘Other’ category, which recorded 1,830 incidents, but exceeds assault (50), mischief (23), break‑and‑enter (8) and auto theft (5). This positioning underscores theft’s prominence relative to violent and property‑specific offences.
The dataset only provides the 2026 year‑to‑date count of theft incidents (114) and does not include comparable figures for previous years. Consequently, no year‑over‑year change or trend can be derived at this time. Analysts would need additional historic data to assess whether theft is increasing, stable, or decreasing in Cobourg.
