Boston, MA, October 17, 2026 —

Boston police released a daily crime log for October 17, 2026, covering a 24-hour period from Friday at 10 a.m. to Saturday at 10 a.m. The log listed incidents in several categories, including aggravated assaults, residential burglaries, larceny from vehicles, other larcenies and auto thefts.

The log reported zero homicides and zero robberies during the period. The information provided does not include counts for the other incident categories, so the number of aggravated assaults, burglaries, larcenies or auto thefts recorded cannot be determined from the summary.

The release describes incidents recorded within the stated 24-hour window. It does not provide locations, individual case details, information about suspects or victims, or the circumstances of the listed incidents. It also does not say whether any arrests were made or whether investigations remain ongoing.

Because those details were not included in the information provided, the log summary does not establish where the incidents occurred or whether they were connected. It also does not provide comparisons with crime reports from other days or longer-term figures. The listed categories identify the types of incidents covered, while the absence of reported homicides and robberies applies to the specific period described.

The contractor’s name, inspection outcomes, permit status and fine amounts are not relevant details provided in this account. No further information about the log’s entries was included in the summary.
