Across Durham Re- gion there were 1,637 re- ported auto thefts in the first nine months of the year, up from 1,570 during the same period in 1994. "So if you look region- wide, that's about a 4 per cent increase," said Sgt. Ryrie. "It goes in cycles; generally, you've been lucky up there." One startling statistic is that a full 50 per cent of the vehicles stolen in the region are Chrysler prod- ucts. They seem to be known among car thieves as easy marks, said Const. Henderson: "The bad guys have found the secret." Other statistics re- leased last week show a general decline in crimes against persons and prop- erty, said Sgt. Ryrie: oBreak-and-enters here register at 235 residential burglaries, and 98 com- mercial, for a total of 333; that's down from last year's end-of-September total ot 349; a Police have 26 sexual assaults reported in the area at the end of Septem- ber 95, compared to 29 last year; Q Arzons are down from 10 at the end of September 1994 to four for the same period this year; Q The same holds true for robberies. By the end of September last year there had been 10, and just five are on the books so far this year; Q Other incidents, such as shoplifting, are also down in 26 Division this year, the statistics show.
