Crime Information Management
- South African Police Service
Theft of motor vehicle and motorcycle in the RSA
per Province between April and March: 2001/2002 to 2007/2008
As a result of changes to provincial borders
and the re-allocation of some municipalities to different
provinces, some police precincts were also allocated to other
new provinces. All historical crime information in these tables
was consequently adapted to comply with the provincial boundries
demarcated in 2007 and therefore may differ from statistics
previously released. |
