Overview
New South Wales has the highest volume of vehicle thefts in Australia, driven by its large population and urban density. The Sydney metropolitan area accounts for over 60% of all vehicle thefts in the state. Western Sydney, particularly around Blacktown and Parramatta, sees the highest concentration. Opportunistic theft from shopping centres and train station car parks is common. Organised theft rings target high value vehicles for export and parts stripping.
