During this reporting window the dataset shows 42 bike‑theft incidents, representing 3.4 % of the city’s total of 1,220 recorded offences across all categories. These 42 incidents place bike‑theft as the fifth most common offence among six tracked categories, providing a clear picture of its relative frequency within Langley’s overall crime landscape. The count reflects incidents reported through the police’s standard intake process and does not include unreported losses. Because the data are incident counts, they do not capture the value of the bicycles involved.
