Lincoln & Hastings Kearney, NE, October 28, 2026 —
Lincoln police reported 108 commercial burglary incidents during the first nine months of 2026, an increase compared with the same period in 2025. Despite the year-over-year rise, the reported total remains below the historical five-year average for Lincoln.
The figures describe commercial burglaries, rather than burglaries overall, and cover the period from the beginning of 2026 through the end of September. The comparison uses the same nine-month period in 2025. The information provided does not state how many incidents were recorded in that earlier period, so the size of the increase cannot be calculated from the available figures.
Nor does the information specify the five-year average, the number of incidents in each of the years used to calculate it, or whether the average covers the same nine-month window. It also does not identify particular businesses or areas, describe the circumstances of the incidents, or provide information about arrests or investigations.
The reported total therefore offers two points of comparison: commercial burglaries were more numerous than during the corresponding period a year earlier, while remaining below the historical five-year average. Without additional figures, the magnitude of either difference is not available.
No explanation for the increase was provided. The information also does not include details about how police classify commercial burglary incidents or whether the count could be revised. The reported figure is limited to the first nine months of 2026; no total for the full year was provided.
