General crime in Porto increased 10.9% compared to 2025

RTP Notícias12 September 2026 at 13:30

General crime in Porto recorded an increase of 10.9% compared to the same period in 2025. This data comes in the context of a security operation carried out by PSP in the city.

The Public Security Police carried out a new Security Operation last night, in Porto, with the aim of reinforcing security in the city.

During the operation, a man was detained for illegal immigration. The authorities also identified 17 people on suspicion of drug trafficking.

The authorities did not provide further details about the operation or the whereabouts of the identified suspects.

Why this matters

Porto residents face a significant double-digit increase in general crime, which can affect the sense of security in the city. The operation results from this growth and specifically targets drug trafficking and illegal immigration, problems that directly impact local public safety.
