Key Trends & Observations
- The March & June Spikes: There is a noticeable correlation between March and June, where almost every major crime category (Theft, Robbery, Burglary, and Public Order) experienced a concurrent surge.
- The July “Non-Crime” Anomaly: While overall incidents remained high in July (52), a significant portion (38.4%) was driven by “Non-Crime” incidents (20), meaning actual active criminal offenses like Theft and Vehicle Offences slightly dipped that month compared to June.
- August Drop: August shows a sharp decline down to 11 total incidents. However, given how consistent the other months are, it is highly probable that the August data is incomplete or only represents the very beginning of the month when the report was generated.
- Missing Data: April 2026 contains missing or unrecorded data fields in the provided table layout.
Here is the Month-over-Month (MoM) percentage change analysis based on the “Incident Count” total row provided in the report.
Because the raw text parsing contains irregular spacing and empty column gaps between months, this calculation aligns the 7 sequential data points directly to the 7 months spanning from February 2026 to August 2026.
Total Incidents Month-over-Month Changes
| Month Period | From (Previous Month) | To (Current Month) | Net Change | MoM % Change |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Feb 2026 → Mar 2026 | 24 | 52 | +28 | +116.7% 📈 |
| Mar 2026 → Apr 2026 | 52 | 35 | -17 | -32.7% 📉 |
| Apr 2026 → May 2026 | 35 | 51 | +16 | +45.7% 📈 |
| May 2026 → Jun 2026 | 51 | 46 | -5 | -9.8% 📉 |
| Jun 2026 → Jul 2026 | 46 | 52 | +6 | +13.0% 📈 |
| Jul 2026 → Aug 2026 | 52 | 11 | -41 | -78.8% 📉* |
*Note: The -78.8% drop in August is highly likely due to incomplete or partial data capture at the time this specific report was extracted.
