In the province of Lugo, located in the Galicia region of Spain, property crimes have shown a notable upward trend over the past few years. According to the Statistical Portal of Criminality from the Spanish Ministry of Interior, reported property crime cases increased from 4,589 in 2020 to 6,427 in 2024, marking a year-over-year change of 3.4%. This rise reflects a consistent increase, with cases jumping from 5,577 in 2021 to 5,681 in 2022, and 6,213 in 2023.
Several factors may contribute to this trend. Lugo's population density, coupled with its historical significance as a tourist destination, can lead to higher exposure to property crimes. The city's blend of urban and rural areas may also play a role, as urban centers typically experience more crime due to greater anonymity and opportunity.
When compared to national trends, property crime rates across Spain have also seen fluctuations, yet Lugo's specific increase raises concerns about local safety. As tourism and local industries continue to grow, addressing property crime will be crucial for maintaining public safety and community confidence.
