Crime detected through police action

Reported separately because these figures largely reflect how much policing activity took place, not how much crime was reported by the public. They are not part of the total above.

Source and methodology

These are crimes recorded by police in the Ekhephinit precinct, not all crime that occurred there. Cases that were never reported do not appear, and reporting rates differ between areas and between categories.
Figures are counts, not rates. The source data contains no population figure for a precinct, so CrimeMap SA cannot show crime per 100,000 people and does not estimate one. A precinct covering a dense area will usually record more of everything.
Precinct boundaries change over time as stations are opened, closed or redrawn. A large movement in a single year can reflect a boundary change rather than a change in recorded crime.

Figures are crimes recorded by the South African Police Service. Read the full methodology.

Where this precinct is
