Drug offences continue to be the most prolific crime encountered by police in the Gladstone Local Government Area, as overall crime trends decline in the region.
The most current data up to March 15 for the Gladstone Local Government Area (LGA) shows there were 1177 offences committed since December 16, 2020, over the past quarter.
The data reveals local police are getting on top of crime in the region, with 1324 offences committed in the quarter from September to December 2020.
A reduction in the number of drug offences from 289 between October and December 2020, to 216 in the recent quarter to March 15, 2021, is testament to this crime reduction.
