Malaysia is one of the countries that is having rapid urbanization and the crime rates are getting worried by the Malaysian government. Thus, this paper objective is to identify the street pattern characteristics that influence the snatch theft activities. The character of the street pattern is identified by using the GIS to construct, determine andanalysethe area with high reported snatch theft cases. The result shows the area with the high number of snatch incidents is becoming a snatch theft hotspot area and the fragmented parallel type of street pattern influenced the snatch activities.
