Why Get a Security System? Crime in Marrickville

Marrickville is a big and diverse suburb with a little something for everyone – river views, affordable housing as well as luxury housing, international foods and cultures, art and live music, and easy access to the CBD via lots of major arterials.

Unfortunately, it also has a little something for burglars and home invaders as well. There is a massive central hotspot for break and enters and other property crimes in Marrickville, and we strongly recommend you install a Marrickville security system and Marrickville CCTV system if you’re in any of the following areas:

  • All streets that run directly onto Illawarra Road, from Thornley Street in the south to Sydenham Road in the north
  • Streets to the south east of Henson Park
  • All streets which run directly onto Marrickville Road, from Livingstone Road in the west to where Marrickville Road changes to Railway Road.
  • Streets bordered by Wardell Road, Marrickville Road, Sydenham Rd, Illawarra Rd and Fraser Street.

In 2010, THERE WERE 404 BREAK AND ENTERS to HOMES IN MARRICKVILLE.

There were also 239 cases of stealing from a dwelling, and 808 cases of malicious damage to property of either Marrickville homes or businesses. Marrickville security systems can not only “stop it happening to you”, but also catch offenders and punish them, helping to deter them and their peers from hurting innocent people.

Marrickville is a convenient base for many families, but not s suburb where you would spend all your time! Marrickville security systems and CCTV camera systems can give you the confidence to leave your home and explore far further.
