Auto theft is one of six published incident categories in Gatineau's open-data crime feed. This page covers the auto theft totals for the city, using the selected period 2026 (year-to-date through July) rather than the rolling 60-day map window. The category count is 162 incidents, and the city-wide total across all categories is 2,474. Auto theft accounts for 6.5% of that city-wide total.
These figures come from the full on-disk archive of reported incidents. The 2026 count is a year-to-date total through the last complete month, so it is not a full calendar year and should not be read as an annual comparison. Earlier full-year counts in the series provide context for how auto theft has moved in Gatineau.
Auto theft ranks fourth among the six published categories in Gatineau, with 162 incidents in the selected period. Assault is the largest sibling category at 1,233, followed by mischief at 503 and break and enter at 388. Auto theft's total is higher than theft from vehicle (123) and robbery (65). The category's 6.5% share of the city-wide total places it mid-pack in the published feed, clearly behind the top three categories but ahead of the two smaller categories listed below it.
Auto theft in Gatineau is notable for its downward full-year trajectory: 410 incidents in 2023, 335 in 2024, and 299 in 2025. The 2026 YTD figure of 162 through July is partial-year data, so the drop from prior full years should not be taken at face value as an annual decline. In the category ranking, auto theft sits fourth of six, behind assault, mischief, and break and enter, and its 6.5% share of the city-wide total is smaller than those three categories.
The selected period shows 162 auto theft incidents in Gatineau for 2026 YTD through July, drawn from the full archive rather than the 60-day map window. That is 6.5% of the 2,474 city-wide incidents across all categories in the same open-data feed.
Between complete years 2024 and 2025, the full-year count fell from 335 to 299, a decrease of 10.7%. Earlier full years were higher: 410 in 2023 and 355 in 2022. The 2026 YTD count of 162 is through July and should not be compared directly to full-year totals.
