Christmas is a time of joy and celebration that brings families and friends together for precious moments. However, research shows that during this cherished time, the rate of crime increases.
Based on data collected from the New South Wales Police from 2011 to 2016, burglaries and break-and-enters are common offences over the Christmas period, with these crimes happening most frequently in the afternoon on Christmas Eve.
According to the Queensland Police Service Online Crime Map, robbery offences in Bundaberg have been consistently high in December over the last five years. Similarly, in previous years central Brisbane has had a surge of crime towards the end of December, with an average of over 3400 offences in the CBD alone.
Seeing these statistics can be alarming, but there is no need to worry about the Grinch spoiling your Christmas! There are many simple ways to prevent robberies and break-ins from happening to you!
