Property Crimes Division  

Property crimes are those crimes that impact property rather than people. These include residential burglary, grand theft, commercial burglary and vehicle burglary. Property Crimes personnel work with the Crime Analysis Unit in order to attempt to identify trends which may help to track down criminals. They also work closely with the Identification Unit to obtain and match fingerprints found at the scene with those of known criminals. They work hard trying to arrest those responsible and return property to those victimized by these criminals. In 2003, there were 1706 burglaries reported in the City of Modesto.  The telephone number to the Property Crimes Division is (209) 572-9564.
