Police data has revealed the most prominent types of crime per Bundaberg suburb over the past three months.
Compiled from official crime statistics, the information is a snapshot of the most frequent crimes in each town and suburb of the Bundaberg region.
While some communities have more drug crime (Agnes Waters, Norville, Rosedale and Bundaberg East) and others more traffic offences, theft is the most common crime in the region overall.
Your chances of getting assaulted appear to be higher in Avenell Heights, and there were 160 reports of theft at Bargara in the past quarter, 90 at Bundaberg North, 209 at Bundaberg Central and 149 at Bundaberg South.
A number of break and enters to homes and cars prompted police to remind residents of the importance of locking up, keeping valuable and important items like purses and keys out of sight inside the home.
Gardens tools should also be kept safely locked away, police said. And installing CCTV was a recommendation.
Bundaberg officer Brittany Duncan said police wanted to ensure the safety of the community.
“While Covid remains an evolving situation, our officers continue to rise to the challenge and are completely dedicated to serving and protecting our community.”
