The specific figures of the claim — burglaries multiplied by sixty and assaults multiplied by fifteen — do not appear in any source located; only the sexual-assault count (16, later 23) is documented.
Official Ministry of Interior crime statistics show overall criminality in Ceuta fell 3.1% in the first quarter of 2026, indicating any sharp crime surge is confined to the short crisis window (late July–August 2026) and is not representative of the year as a whole.
The 23 sexual assaults reported by the Fiscalía span roughly one month (late July to 31 August 2026), which is close to but slightly below 'almost one case per day'.
The sources found were published after the crisis began (27–31 August 2026); the MEP's statement (15 September 2026) could have drawn on them, but no primary Fiscalía document was accessible.
