It’s important to take into consideration that this list focused on the suburbs closest to the Melbourne CBD and whilst certain suburbs may not have made the list, it does not mean that they necessarily had a large number of burglaries in 2016.

Whilst Melbourne may be the most liveable city, it does not mean that it is free from crime and completely safe. As with all cities globally, crime exists and there are suburbs that have higher levels of crime than others.
