In this article we analyzed the phenomenon of cell phone theft in the city of Pereira, from temporal and spatial dimensions. Data cleaning techniques were used to conduct the study, addressing four sources of information with their corresponding data sets. The temporal analysis identified the days of the week and the time of day (early morning, morning, afternoon and night) when the greatest number of incidents occurred. Next, a spatial analysis was carried out, using a map of the city to identify the communes where this crime occurs to a greater extent (hot spots). Subsequently, two intervention zones composed of the identified communes (Universidad-Boston) were created and the impact of the crime was analyzed from the perspective of these affected neighborhoods. Finally, a description of the area is provided together with the possible causes that could contribute to the presence of cell phone theft. This analysis suggests that the geographic area where the theft was reported does not necessarily correspond to the exact location of the crime, but rather to the location of the Police Station of the sector where the crime was committed.
