Toronto Home Invasion Robberies So Far in 2026 Already Exceed 2025 Total
When armed intruders attacked a sleeping family of four with guns and a hammer in Toronto’s Bridle Path neighbourhood last week, the incident stood out for its brutality. But home invasions themselves no longer stand out so much for their rarity. In the first nine months of 2026, Toronto recorded 112 home-invasion robberies, according to police data, surpassing the 103 reported throughout the entire year of 2025. That already makes 2026 the second-worst year for home-invasion robberies in the period covered by the data, even if no more occur this year. Only 2024 recorded more, with 160 incidents, averaging more than three per week. The Toronto Police Service data show a sharp but uneven increase in the 12-year reported period— from 2014 to 2026. Toronto recorded 57 home-invasion robberies in 2021, followed by 63 in 2022 and 81 in 2023.
