February 2020 Partnership Against Crime Taskforce (PACT) Report

PACT Site Security reports in February 2020 consisted a total of 48 reports, 13 burglaries, 31 stealing, 4 damage and 6 illegal rubbish dumping.

Hot spot areas were Coolbellup with 9 reports, Dayton 7, Treeby 4 and Southern River 3. 64% of all reported crime occurred in the southern suburbs.

Two sites in Dayton were targeted after seven burglaries where offenders removed kitchen cupboards, tapware and an oven. Forensic examination has provided evidence with inquiries continuing to identify offenders. Offenders targeted two multi-unit sites in Coolbellup stealing plants, exterior lights and electrical cable, whist in the Ambia Estate in Southern River, two display homes were targeted on three separate occasions cutting electrical cable from the sites.     

Three hot water units were reported stolen from their onsite installed positions in Bulter, Bushmead and Waterford.

Theft of electrical cable continued with eleven reports, three incidents in Coolbellup, three in Southern River, two in Averley and single incidents in Treeby Forrestfield and Caversham.

Crime, illegal rubbish dumping and anti-social behaviours, at some point, impact every part of the building and construction process. Braven Group Services/PACT Site Security will work with members on a variety of issues affecting their business, theft of machinery fuel and assets through the civil contracting stage, ongoing crime impacting builders to illegal rubbish dumping and anti-social behaviours that can affect new estates. If these issues are left unchallenged, the problems will continue to grow, having an increasingly negative impact across the industry.

PACT Site Security works closely with WA Police to provide efficient and effective reporting systems to identify crime trends within the building and construction industry. Accurate reporting of all crime activates resources to reduce theft risk, track and recover property, as well as deter future incidents. Police liaison, GPS Tracking, CCTV, patrols and community engagement are just some of the tactics assisting to reduce crime.
