Residential break-ins happen every 90 seconds in Canada, according to SGI Canada, and more than 80% of break-ins occur during daylight hours. According to Statistics Canada data from March to October 2020, property crime decreased by 13% (3,404 break-ins) from March to April, and peaked in July (3,948 break-ins).
