This page presents the open‑data record for auto theft incidents reported in Prince George, British Columbia, for the 2026 calendar year to date (through July). The dataset includes 122 reported auto thefts, representing 5.3 % of all 2,312 crime incidents recorded for the same period.
The counts reflect incidents logged by police and do not constitute a crime rate. The YTD window captures the most recent complete month, and the figures are drawn from the full on‑disk archive rather than the rolling 60‑day map view. Because the period does not span a full calendar year, comparisons to prior full‑year totals should consider the incomplete nature of the window.
