REDBANK Plains has this week claimed the highly undesirable title of Ipswich’s worst suburb for crime for 2021.
Just shy of three months into the year, the area has managed to surpass other suburbs for criminal behaviour.
According to recent police data, 413 incidents occurred in the suburb over the past quarter – an average of about five per day.
Several other suburbs across Ipswich have also recorded a total number of incidents into the triple figures.
Goodna and Ipswich central both tied for an equal second place with 358 offences respectively.
Meanwhile, North Ipswich rounded out the worst suburbs for crime this year, with more than 250 incidents taking place.
