Number of theft offences in France 2017-2023
In 2023, there were approximately 706,000 theft offences recorded by police forces in France, the majority of them were perpetrated without the use of violence, and only 8,700 were committed with the use of a weapon. The previous year, considerably more theft offences were recorded by the police authorities, since around 732,000 thefts offences were counted in total. This number was even lower in 2020, which could be possibly explained by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
