MONTHLY CRIME BULLETIN Auto Breaking and Entering August 2011 Activity Summary: There were nineteen (19) Auto B&Es reported in August 2011. There were fifteen (15) Auto B&Es reported during the same timeframe in 2010. This is a 27% increase from 2010 to 2011. The highest number of incidents, five (5), or 26%, occurred in East 1. The highest number of incidents, five (5), or 26%, occurred in the B2 reporting tract. Nine (9), or 47%, of the incidents took place at commercial locations. Eleven (11), or 58%, of the incidents involved forced entry. Five (5), or 26%, of the incidents were discovered on a Tuesday. Six (6), or 32%, of the incidents were discovered between the hours of 2000 and 2359. Seventeen (17) incidents are open for further investigation and two (2) have been closed with leads exhausted. Forecast for September: The average number of Auto B&Es for the month of September is 24 plus or minus 17. By the end of September, there is a 68% chance HPD will have received between 7 and 41 reported Auto B&Es. This large range is due in part to an unusually low number of Auto B&Es (9) in Sept. of 2003 and an unusually high number (65) in Sept. 2007.
