Crime statistics in Geelong reveal need to protect businesses

February 28, 2019

Making sure your business has quality security measures in place can help keep you from joining the tally of crime statistics in Geelong.

While these statistics show an overall decrease across the Greater Geelong municipality, theft is often more prevalent during the New Year period.

Crime Statistics Authority data shows there were 5668 criminal incidents of theft across the local government area last year, down on the previous 12 months’ figures of 5757. Criminal incidents of burglary/break and enter stood at 1853 last year, with 2017’s tally higher at 2624.

The decreases are welcome news, but the fact remains there are still plenty of offenders and plenty of victims.
