Theft from Vehicle

Theft from Vehicle is defined as the taking of property from within a vehicle without the owner's permission.

Examples can include the theft of a car stereo, vehicle parts, laptop computer, or other tangible item(s) from a locked or unlocked vehicle.

If your personal or business vehicle was entered and items within were stolen, you may file an online report under the following criteria:

The estimated theft is valued under $5000.00
The item(s) stolen were not firearms
The offence occurred within the City of Winnipeg
There are no known suspects or witnesses (name, license plate, etc.)
There are no surveillance images or evidence (items) left behind by the suspect(s)

If your vehicle was stolen or has been damaged as a result of an attempted theft, ie. ignition damaged, the offence is not eligible for online reporting. Theft of a licence plate is not eligible for online reporting either.

If your occurrence does not meet the criteria, please call the police non-emergency line at 204-986-6222 or visit a local police station.

If you had property stolen from more than one vehicle, separate reports must be entered for each vehicle.

Filing a false police report is a crime.

You will receive an unofficial copy of the report at the time you submit it. This report will have a temporary tracking number and cannot be used for insurance purposes. It is for your records only. Your report will be reviewed by a police officer within 3 business days. Once approved, you will receive a copy of your official report with a permanent occurrence number. This number will have 10 digits beginning with the letter "E", (eg. E1200001234). This report may be used for insurance purposes.
