Fraud is one of the categories tracked on Peterborough's open-data incident page. This page covers the Fraud category for the city, showing reported incident counts from the published archive for the latest selected period: 2026 year-to-date through July. There were 346 fraud incidents in that window, which is the category count used on this page. Across all categories, Peterborough recorded 3,394 incidents in the same citywide open-data feed. Fraud's share of that citywide total is 10.2%.
These figures come from Peterborough's full on-disk archive, not from the rolling 60-day map window shown elsewhere on the site. Because the current year is still in progress, the 346 count is a year-to-date figure, not a complete annual total. The page also shows how many fraud incidents were recorded in 2025, and which areas of the city have the largest listed neighbourhood-level fraud counts.
Compared with other categories in Peterborough's open-data feed, Fraud ranks 4th out of 9 category groups. Its 346 incidents place it below Theft (1,777), Assault (363), and Other (357), and above Mischief (312) and Break and enter (165). Theft is by far the largest category in the citywide archive, while Fraud sits in a closer cluster with Assault and Other. These rankings are based on the same selected period — 2026 year-to-date through July — for each category listed, and the counts are incident totals as published in the city's open-data dataset.
Fraud is the fourth-largest published category in Peterborough's open-data archive for this period, at 346 records through July 2026 — 10.2% of the citywide total of 3,394. It trails Theft (1,777) by a wide margin but is close to Assault (363) and Other (357) at the top of the middle range. The year series shows 449 fraud records for all of 2025, while the 2026 figure is year-to-date and partial, so the two are not an apples-to-apples annual comparison. At the neighbourhood level, AREA3 has the largest listed count at 118.
The open-data archive shows 346 fraud incidents for 2026 year-to-date through July. That equals 10.2% of the citywide total of 3,394 incidents for the same period. This is a partial-year count because the year is still in progress, not a full 2026 annual total.
Fraud ranks 4th out of 9 categories in the published open-data feed. It is lower than Theft (1,777), Assault (363), and Other (357), and higher than Mischief (312) and Break and enter (165). The ranking is based on incident counts in the selected 2026 year-to-date period.
The largest listed neighbourhood counts for fraud are AREA3 (118), AREA2 (92), AREA4 (63), AREA1 (30), and AREA6 (14). These counts come from 2026 data scaled to the city's year-to-date total. The neighbourhood names are the area labels used in Peterborough's open-data feed.
The published series shows 449 fraud records for all of 2025 and 346 for 2026 through July. Because the 2026 figure covers only part of the year, it should not be treated as a full-year change or an annual trend. Both numbers are as reported in Peterborough's open-data dataset.
