Suburb Security Spotlight: The Worst Streets in Blacktown, Sydney for Burglaries

We’ve recently been looking at crime hotspots in suburbs surrounding Sydney. While it is never possible to predict exactly which buildings will be burgled or stolen from … and it certainly never pays to become complacent … if you find that you are in a hotspot area, you know that extended security strategies are definitely appropriate for you. Today we go to the police statistics for Blacktown, Sydney, and find out which houses can most benefit from CCTV camera systems, back to base alarms and alarm monitoring services.

 

Break and Enter – Dwelling

The following areas all show up as red, or having the highest density of break and enters, in the Blacktown area.

  • The portions of Doonside south of the railway line, and the corresponding portion of Woodcroft bordered by the railway line to the south, Knox Rd to the west, Richmond Rd to the north and Lyon St to the east.

 

Break and Enter – Non Dwelling and Robbery

Steal from Dwelling

This slightly different crime category has the same effect as a break and enter – something is stolen from private property. However, the crime may have been committed by somebody known to the residents, or a door or window may have been left unlocked so no ‘breakage’ was necessary. The area basically mirror those for break and enters however, and are centred around:

  • The entire suburbs of Bidwill, Willmot, Whalan, Dharruk, Hebersham, Blackett and Tregear
  • The streets bordered by the Great Western Hwy, Mamre Rd, the Western Motorway and Bennett Road in the St Marys area
  • Streets in Doonside to the south of the railway line, bordered by Lancaster/Lyon St to the east, Bungarribee Rd to the south and Doonside Rd to the West.
