Crime statistics in Rio Grande do Sul

Overview

The Public Security Secretariat of Rio Grande do Sul released crime indicators for July, reporting 82 cases of intentional violent lethal crimes, which included 63 homicides, two robberies resulting in death, and five femicides.

Property crime data showed 750 pedestrian robberies and 114 vehicle thefts, while rural areas reported 289 instances of livestock theft. Additionally, the state has maintained the lowest rate of cell phone robberies in Brazil for two consecutive years, a trend authorities attribute to preventive and repressive measures such as inspecting commercial establishments to stop the illegal sale of stolen devices.
