New Fort Worth crime map shows theft was most common offense in last week of April
In the last days of April and in the beginning of May, 793 crimes were recorded in Fort Worth, according to a Star-Telegram map created with police department data that the city released.
The crimes recorded most often were theft (129), penal code offenses (78) and vehicle burglaries (75), according to the data that plotted offenses between April 26 and May 2.
The novel coronavirus pandemic appears to have affected crime during a stay-at-home order that began in the city in late March and ended early this month.
The map displays the locations of crimes with multicolored dots. Clicking a dot reveals information about the crime.
The map includes filters for different offenses, and selecting a filter allows users to see only the occurrences of that crime.
