Theft from vehicle stands out as the most reported crime in Montreal, making up over a quarter of all incidents in the city during this period. Its prevalence is notable, exceeding other property-related crimes like break and enter and auto theft by hundreds of incidents.

However, the high count underscores the frequency of this type of crime in Montreal compared to other categories.

About this dataset

Reporting basis: Counts reflect incidents reported to police only. Under-reporting — especially for sexual assault, fraud, and minor theft — means actual incidence is higher than these figures show.
Not a per-capita rate: These are absolute incident counts. Comparing one place’s counts to another without normalising for population can mislead — see crime rates per 100,000 for population-adjusted figures.
Category includes a range: A single category groups incidents of varying severity (e.g. "assault" spans minor altercations through serious assault). The count alone does not indicate severity.
Data window: 2026-04-14 to 2026-06-13.
