Manteca’s crime rate ended a 22-month skid in January when the 12 categories that represent serious crimes shot up 22.01 percent overall in year-to-year comparisons.
Four crime categories led the way for the January comparisons between 2010 and 2011:
•Auto burglary was up 136 percent going from 25 to 59.

•Grand theft was up 25 percent going from 16 to 20.
•Robbery was up 25 percent going from 4 to 5.
One of the bright spots was in aggravated assaults Not only did the rate of assaults - typically gang on gang violence - drop 60 percent going from 10 to six incidents but the clearance rate soared.
Sixty percent of all assault cases in January were closed with an arrest. It helped bring the overall clearance rate - arrests made for the 155 felonies committed in January - to 46 or 29 percent of all incidents.
