Using crime statistics gathered from 2004 to 2009, the following list shows the top 20 neighbourhoods in Toronto for break and enters. It is interesting to note that the neighbourhoods with the highest rate of break ins are not necessarily the wealthiest, as you might expect. There are many factors which may contribute to a higher crime area.
Recent police studies have shown that a home with a security system is more than three times less likely to suffer a break and enter. At AlarmForce, Live 2-Way Voice installation is FREE and the monitoring is only $25 per month!
