This fourth week of July (July 20-26) looked more like the second week (July 6-12) in terms of more shootings and fewer larcenies (both petit and grand).

Compared to the third week (July 13 to 19), there were also zero robberies and housing incidents (good news!) but a rise in sex crimes and shootings, up by one incident each.

In general, crime is basically in the same general wheelhouse as this time one month ago, in June, in terms of overall crime stats.

Reported crime fell in the following categories:

  • robberies (from 2 to 0)
  • housing (from 2 to 0)
  • petit larceny (from 13 to 7)
  • misdemeanor assault (from 15 to 8)

Meanwhile, crime jumped in these categories:

  • burglary (from 2 to 6)
  • grand larceny (from 4 to 9)
  • auto theft (from 0 from 1)
  • misdemeanor sex crimes (from 1 to 2)
  • shootings (from 0 to 1, leaving 2 people injured)

And these stayed the same:

  • felony assault (5 reports)
