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.
