Overview
Western Australia's vehicle theft is concentrated in the Perth metropolitan area, with the northern suburbs and Midland-Kalamunda corridor seeing the highest rates. Work vehicles, utes, and SUVs are primary targets due to the state's mining and construction industries. The isolation of the state means fewer vehicles are shipped interstate compared to eastern states.
