Victoria crime overview
Essay updated 2026-10-13 · figures above are from the latest data
TL;DR. Victoria reported 10 crime incidents on its latest reporting day, Oct 12, 2026, labelled Latest day (2026-10-12). Other was the most common category with 4 reports, followed by Theft with 3, Mischief with 2 and Robbery with 1. Downtown recorded 4 incidents and North Park had 3.

About this data
This page summarizes reported crime in Victoria, British Columbia, for the latest day, October 12, 2026, drawn from the official police and municipal open-data portal for British Columbia. The headline figure is 10 incidents recorded with an occurrence date of October 12, 2026, representing that single reporting day rather than a year-to-date total.
It is useful for checking what was reported most recently, including the mix of 4 Other, 3 Theft and 2 Mischief incidents on that day. Police may still add late reports for October 12, so the count can rise. For broader context, the interactive map shows a rolling 60 days with 1,660 incidents, a much larger window than this daily snapshot. Neighbourhood and category tables below break the 10 records down by location and type.
Recent trend
Year-over-year change is not available for the October 12, 2026 daily snapshot. The multi-year archive series supplied for trend context contains only 2026, with 5,992 dated incidents in that single year, so there is no complete prior-year pair to compare. The full on-disk archive likewise lists only 2026, with 6,240 incidents. This reflects the current feed provided for Victoria rather than a measured rise or fall, and daily counts of 10 incidents naturally vary more than annual totals. A year-over-year comparison will become possible once a second complete calendar year is published.
Category breakdown
For October 12, 2026, the 10 incidents were led by Other with 4 incidents, accounting for 40%, followed by Theft with 3 incidents, or 30%, and Mischief with 2 incidents, or 20%. Robbery accounted for the remaining 1 incident, or 10%. Because Other is the leading group on the day, its longer-run composition helps explain it: across the full archive, Other totals 3,208 incidents, classified entirely as Other crime, representing 100% of Other and 51.4% of all archived incidents. That archive-wide split is separate from the daily count of 4 Other records and shows how the source groups many types under one label.
Where incidents concentrate
On October 12, 2026, reports clustered in a small set of Victoria neighbourhoods. Downtown recorded 4 incidents, followed by North Park with 3, while Burnside, Fairfield and James Bay each recorded 1 incident. These were the neighbourhoods with records on that date within Victoria's 14-neighbourhood reporting geography. This shows where occurrence-day activity concentrated on that date, not which neighbourhood carries higher per-capita risk, since these are incident counts without population adjustment. Late reports could shift the local order slightly if additional records are added for that day.
What this means
With only 10 incidents, October 12 was a small daily snapshot where 4 Other and 3 Theft records set the mix, while a single Robbery was the day's robbery count. Downtown with 4 and North Park with 3 were the busiest neighbourhoods on that date. Longer-run context shows Other is entirely Other crime at 3,208 archive records, or 100% of Other, which explains the broad leading label on such a small day.
FAQ
How many incidents were reported in Victoria on the latest day?
Victoria recorded 10 incidents on 2026-10-12, the city's latest exact occurrence day. This daily headline is not a year-to-date total and not the interactive map's 60-day window. Police may still add reports for 2026-10-12, so the count of 10 can rise as late files are processed.
What was the most common type that day, and what does Other mean?
Other was the leading category on 2026-10-12 with 4 incidents, or 40% of the 10 reported, followed by Theft with 3. In the full archive of 6,240 incidents, the Other rollup is entirely Other crime at 3,208 records, representing 100% of Other and 51.4% of the archive total.
Is crime going up or down in Victoria compared with last year?
Year-over-year change is not available for this period because the series contains only 2026, with 5,992 dated incidents in the year series and a full-archive total of 6,240 for 2026. A second complete calendar year would be needed to calculate a comparable annual change.
Which neighbourhoods had the most incidents on that day?
Downtown recorded 4 incidents on 2026-10-12, followed by North Park with 3 incidents. Burnside, Fairfield and James Bay each recorded 1 incident on that latest day. These areas sit within Victoria's file of 14 neighbourhoods, with Downtown holding the largest single-neighbourhood count in the 10-incident day.
Where does this Victoria data come from?
The counts come from the official police / municipal open-data portal for British Columbia covering Victoria. The latest extract runs through 2026-10-12 and lists 10 incidents for that day and 5,992 dated incidents for 2026, before any independent analysis or mapping by CrimeMaps.
How up to date is this page?
The page headline reflects the latest day of 2026-10-12 with 10 incidents, and police may still add reports for that day. The dated file extends through the same date, while the interactive map uses a separate rolling 60-day window with 1,660 incidents, so its total differs from the daily headline by design.
