2 mins read

The Emeryville Crime Report for April includes 182 total crimes (down from 201 in March). Violent Crime fell 15% from last month but still outpaces the three-year average for April and remains on a 58% increase from 2015. In the Property Crimes category, a 19% decline in auto burglaries was offset by a large increase in Grand theft and Auto thefts. The earlier reported rape in District 7 was the first crime of its kind since November 2015.
