NEW DELHI: The Capital has seen a significant jump in burglaries in the first half of 2023 in comparison to the corresponding period last year, Delhi Police data has revealed, with two out of the 15 police districts in the city - Dwarka and North Delhi - being the worst affected areas. The New Delhi district was the safest area with respect to burglaries.
Police attribute the rise to the fact that it is now easier to register burglary cases, including online.
Police data till June 15 shows that this year, 3,008 cases of burglaries were reported a 26.17% rise from the 2,384 burglary cases registered in Delhi during the same period in 2022.
Data for the corresponding period was not available for 2021, but police till July 15 that year had received 1,362 burglary complaints. To be sure, senior officers said police received fewer complaints in the first half of 2021 because of restrictions due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Police register burglary cases under three sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) sector 380 (theft in any building, tent or vessel, which building, tent or vessel is used as a human dwelling, or used for the custody of property), section 454 (lurking house-trespass or house-breaking), and section 457 (lurking house-trespass or house-breaking by night).
An analysis of the 2023 police data shows that the maximum number of burglaries was reported from Dwarka and North Delhi, with an average of two complaints filed per day in these two regions.
