The November, 2019 Emeryville Crime Report saw a return to “normalcy” after an uncharacteristic surge in October (down from the 311 reported in last month). Much of this increase stemmed from a 39% M-T-M auto burglary increase.

Emeryville had its fifth “carjacking” of the year on the evening of November 27th in The Towers complex parking garage. According to reports, a tenant was physically attacked and robbed onsite while trying to unlock their car. The buildings’ onsite security staff was able to assist in locating the suspect who was later arrested by the EPD.

Emeryville Police Officers handled a total of 2901 incidents in November. These responses included 14 incidents where officers were dispatched to evaluate an individual to determine if they required an Emergency Psychiatric Detention and 35 suspicious incidents (person or vehicle). Officers responded to 122 theft related calls and recovered 6 stolen vehicles.

Officers arrested 53 adults and three juveniles in November.

Overall, crimes reported for 2019 are on an 17% upward trajectory from last year.
