* same issue as with the previous table in this instance in the Break&Enter Commercial and Robbery-Commercial and Theft Motor Vehicle – Attempt categories.
Comments:
1. Although the per cent-age increased in Old Kildonan and St. Norbert are extremely high, the actual numbers when compared to other electoral wards are still very low by comparison.
2. In Old Kildonan the increase was driven by residential break-ins and actual and attempted auto theft.
3. In St. Norbert it was residential break-ins and muggings.
