Auto theft is one of five categories tracked on this page. With 27 records, it is the fourth-ranked category by count, below Theft, Mischief, and Break and enter and above Theft from vehicle. No earlier-year series is available for auto theft in this dataset, so the page shows the 2026 year-to-date total rather than a multi-year comparison.
Across Yellowknife's five tracked categories, Auto theft sits in fourth place. The largest sibling category is Theft, with 137 incidents, followed by Mischief at 127 and Break and enter at 58. Auto theft's 27 incidents are below those three, but just above Theft from vehicle, which has 20. In proportional terms, the category accounts for 7.3% of the city's 369 incidents. Because the archive contains only 2026 data for auto theft, these comparisons are based on the current year-to-date window rather than a longer trend.
In Yellowknife's 2026 YTD open-data feed, auto theft is a mid-pack category: 27 records place it fourth of five, with 7.3% of the city's 369 incidents. It is well below Theft (137), Mischief (127), and Break and enter (58), while slightly exceeding Theft from vehicle (20). The series contains no prior year for comparison, so no year-over-year shift can be evaluated. The standout is simply that auto theft is neither the top nor bottom category, and its share is modest.

It is a partial-year figure: 2026 year-to-date through July. The 27 auto theft incidents cover only the months reported so far, so they should not be read as a full-year total. No prior-year auto theft series is included in this dataset, so year-over-year movement cannot be assessed.
