VPD data shows decreases in assaults, property crime, stolen vehicles in first six months of 2024.
New statistics posted to the Vancouver Police Department’s website show crime continues to fall in the city, with decreases in property crime, assaults and stolen vehicles over the first six months of 2024.Break-and-enters to homes and businesses are down from 1,604 to 1,1125; theft of motor vehicles dropped from 417 to 335; and break-ins to vehicles decreased from 3,490 to 3,041.
“We're actually answering more calls and responding to more of those calls now, but the crime numbers are still down,” the chief said. Strathcona also saw 11 robberies in June, whereas Killarney, Kerrisdale and Kitsilano had no reports last month. Victimization is also not reflected in the statistics, with previous VPD data showing Indigenous girls and women continue to be overrepresented as victims of violence.
