Police say Port Phillip is a hotspot for car break-ins in Melbourne, but there’s something simple vehicle owners can do to help mitigate this: lock their doors. According to Victoria Police, 65 per cent of cars targeted by thieves over the past three months across Port Phillip were unlocked. In the twelve months to March 2024, there were 2148 reports of cars being broken into and having items stolen. This included 468 break-ins in Port Melbourne, 412 in St Kilda, and 410 in South Melbourne.
While Port Melbourne, St Kilda and South Melbourne topped the charts in the City of Port Phillip when it came to car break-ins in the 12 months to March 2024, other suburbs had considerably fewer reports of theft. Just 158 car break-ins were reported during this period in St Kilda East, for example, while 180 were recorded in Albert Park and 195 in Elwood – all less than half the numbers of the top three suburbs for car break-ins.
