About this data
This page summarizes reported crime in Richmond Hill, Ontario, for the latest reporting day of October 12, 2026, with 4 incidents published through York Regional Police open data. Richmond Hill is reported as part of the York Region feed, with municipality pages split from the regional open layer. The 4 records reflect that single occurrence day, with 3 Theft incidents and 1 Mischief incident, split between Richmond Hill C and Richmond Hill North East.
The day-level view is useful for checking what was most recently published and where, rather than judging annual patterns from 4 records. Counts for October 12, 2026 can still rise if police add late reports. For context, the interactive map shows 880 incidents across the most recent 60 days, a broader window than this single-day total.
Recent trend
Year-over-year change is not available for the October 12, 2026 single-day total of 4 incidents, which cannot be compared to a full year. For longer calendar context, the full archive spans 2021 to 2026, with yearly counts of 5,708 in 2021, 6,836 in 2022, 8,225 in 2023, 8,010 in 2024, 7,786 in 2025 and 5,435 in 2026. In the full-archive complete-year comparison, 2025 recorded 7,786 incidents compared with 8,010 in 2024, a change of -2.8%, while 2026 remains an incomplete year and is not a full annual total or 60-day map figure.
Category breakdown
This single-day mix for October 12, 2026 totalled 4 incidents, led by Theft with 3 incidents representing 75% of the day, followed by Mischief with 1 incident representing 25% of the day. No other categories were recorded on this latest reporting day. The narrow two-category mix reflects the very small daily count, where each record shifts the share substantially. These category counts describe only October 12, 2026 and not the year-to-date or the 60-day map window. York Regional Police open data for Richmond Hill publishes these incident types with neighbourhood geography, allowing the daily Theft and Mischief records to be viewed alongside longer archive patterns without treating 4 records as an annual profile.
What this means
Four records on October 12, 2026 makes this Richmond Hill update unusually small to interpret, with Theft accounting for 3 of 4 incidents and Mischief for the remaining 1, split evenly between Richmond Hill C and Richmond Hill North East. For wider context, the full-archive Other grouping of 7,744 incidents is led by Threats with 2,305 records, or 29.8% of Other, followed by Harassment with 1,752 records. Those Threats and Harassment records are open-data person offences, not physical assault, which keeps the single-day Theft tilt from reading as the full crime profile.
