This page covers Theft incidents in Lethbridge, Alberta, as reported in the city's open-data crime feed. The selected period is 2026 year-to-date through July, and the total recorded for Theft in that window is 1,434 incidents. That figure represents 26.3% of Lethbridge's citywide total of 5,457 incidents across all categories. The counts on this page come from the full on-disk archive rather than the 60-day rolling map window.
Theft is one of seven categories in Lethbridge's open-data breakdown, and this page focuses on that category alone. The 2026 YTD total is a partial-year figure that runs through July 2026, so it should not be read as a full annual count. Because the underlying archive includes day-precise incident records, readers can also explore neighbourhood-level and year-level views of the same theft data.
Theft ranks 2nd among Lethbridge's 7 categories in the 2026 YTD open-data feed, with 1,434 incidents. The only listed category with a higher count is Other, at 2,261.
