“Out of the ninety-six (96) index crime recorded from April to August 2016, 35 cases or 36% are theft incidents, making it the most committed index crime for the period,” Garchitorena said.
Robbery and physical injury ranked second with 19 cases each accounting to 40% combined, followed by 13 cases of rape or almost 14% of the total index crime. Carnapping accounts to almost 4% of the total index crime with four cases recorded while murder and homicide both has three (3) cases or 6% combined.

“For the users, 201 or 9% are watchlisted and 1,934 or 91% are newly identified while for pushers, 54 or 22% are watchlisted while the remaining 190 or 78% are newly identified,” he said.
