Overview
The Northern Territory has by far the highest per capita vehicle theft rate in Australia at 760 per 100,000 people. Youth offending is a significant driver, with many thefts being joyriding rather than profit motivated. Darwin and Alice Springs see the most activity. The Toyota LandCruiser is the top target, reflecting its prevalence in the Territory. The recovery rate of 58% is the lowest nationally, partly because vehicles can be taken to remote locations.
