88th Precinct Crime Statistics: Crime Begins Ticking Down Again For August 10-16

Reported crime began a ticking steadily down between August 10-16, after a few weeks of see-sawing back and forth. There were no shootings during this past week (phew!), compared to the previous week‘s (August 3-9) one shooting and two injuries, and July 27-August 2’s one shooting.

Reported crime fell in the following categories:

• rapes (form 1 to 0)
• felony assault (from 5 to 2)
• burglary (from 4 to 2)
• grand larceny (from 12 to 4)
• auto thefts (from 4 to 1)
• housing (form 3 to 1)
• misdemeanor sex crimes (from 1 to 0)
• shootings and victims (from 2 and 1, to 0)

Meanwhile, crime rose in these categories:

• robberies (from 1 to 3)
• transit (from 0 to 1)
• petit larceny (from 18 to 20)

And these stayed the same:

• misdemeanor assault (four)

The next 88th Precinct Community Council meeting will be in SEPTEMBER.
