Am I At Risk?
Robberies and Burglaries are an unfortunate ever-presence in Western Australia which is why getting your premises protected is essential. The Australian Government defines a robbery as stealing from a person with the use, and/or threatened use, of immediate force or violence and a burglary as stealing from a property (structure) which involves unlawful entry, where the entry is either forced or unforced. The Western Australian Police Department keeps records of these crimes and is shown on the right. Overall, 37165 theft related crimes were committed in Western Australia over the last financial year which puts you at a 1.44% chance of being robbed or burgled at any point in time.

How Do Burglaries Happen?
Australia has the second highest rate of breaking and entering a property in the world. However, with the right security measures in place, there is no need to worry. Most burglars use hammers, screwdrivers, crowbars and flat-nosed pliars to get into your home or will check to see if a window or door is left unlocked. Favorite items to steal are cash, jewelry, tablets, laptops, DVDs and other small electronic devices. The most common hiding places burglars check are master bedroom drawers, cupboards and freezers. The most common age/gender for burglaries are young males under 25 years of age.
