Victoria was re-elected Australia's most! But this champion, really does not want.
Victoria has a lot of glittering titles, such as "the capital of literature and art", "the capital of education", "the capital of sports", and so on, and now it has another title. It's just a bad title: Australia's "car Theft Capital"
A total of 15332 cars were stolen in Victoria in 2017, according to data released today by National Motor Vehicle Theft Reduction Council! Equivalent to more than 40 a day!
This number is also the highest in Australia! Even the new state, which has a population of 2 million more than Victoria, will only be second-runner-up-12216 cars were stolen last year (but the champion is really disgraced,.).

At the same time, the number of more than one hundred and fifty thousand vehicles stolen also means that all car thefts across Australia, more than 1 / 3 occurred in Victoria!
And just yesterday, the head of the state police department, (police minister), also said that the data showed that the crime rate in the state of the largest decline in 10 years, the result of today's state was elected "car theft capital," the face hit, clap!
In addition, today's report also released a number of other data worthy of vigilance, such as:
The top five council: with the most stolen cars in Victoria.
Hume,944;
Greater Geelong,831;
Casey,686;
Darebin,674;
Whittlesea,659.
The highest number of car robberies:
Friday, 4: 00-8: 00 p.m.
Sunday evening 8: 00-12:00;
Saturday night 8: 00-12:00;
Friday night 8: 00-12:00;
Saturday, 4: 00-8: 00 p.m.
Police said the biggest number of robberies occurred on Friday night, probably because after a week of work, most people would be more likely to get night out, thieves.
Most stolen models:
Old Nissan Pulsars,477;
VE Holden Commodores,262;
VX Holden Commodores,170;
VT Holden Commodores,167;
BA Ford Falcons,166.
The average price of stolen vehicles is $11,000, which is not very high.
Ray Carroll, head of National Motor Vehicle Theft Reduction Council, says it's because most of the people who steal cars are young people who steal cars not for money, but for other criminal activities in stolen cars, so they're not interested in the price of cars. And they often burn or destroy stolen cars when they're done.
This also explains why there are so many car thefts in the state-because there are so many teenagers in the state!
"despite the overall decline in juvenile delinquency in Victoria, a small number of recidivist offenders have been engaged in criminal activity," Carroll said.
"in other states, we don't see such a concentration of criminal groups."
It's also a wake-up for the state's police, and it's time to take care of the remorseless bear children, or next year the state will return to the disgraced champion.
