The data reflects all reported incidents for 2026, offering a snapshot of crime patterns in Montreal. Without prior-year comparisons, the focus remains on the composition and scale of incidents within this single year.
In 2026, Montreal's reported incidents were dominated by property-related crimes, with theft from vehicles, break-and-enter, mischief, and auto theft accounting for the majority of cases. Theft from vehicles led with 3,792 incidents, closely followed by break-and-enter at 3,465. Mischief and auto theft were also significant, with 3,306 and 3,287 incidents respectively. Violent crimes like robbery were less frequent, totaling 912 incidents, while homicides were rare, with only 2 reported cases.
Montreal's 2026 data highlights a strong concentration in property crimes, with the top four categories alone accounting for over 90% of all incidents. The rarity of homicides (2 cases) contrasts sharply with the high volume of theft-related offences. As the only year in the dataset, these numbers establish a baseline but cannot indicate trends. The dominance of auto-related thefts—both from vehicles and of vehicles—suggests targeted prevention efforts could yield significant reductions.
