Commissioner Gary Burns said the offence continued to be a target for police. "There has been a minor rise this year in serious criminal trespass," he said. "We are aware of this and have conducted operations in the impacted LSAs to address spikes in this offence category which has led to substantial arrests and clear-ups." "However, it's worth noting that over the last decade this crime category has almost halved." Graffiti offending was also most rife in Sturt, where there were there was 912 offences reported over the past year. Statewide, graffiti offences are down 9 per cent over the same period, to 4000. Mr Burns said a restructure of the Transit Services Branch in July last year and targeted operations had led to the decrease in graffiti offending. "There has been a strong focus at the branch on graffiti offenders and as a result, there have been some very good outcomes and arrests," he said. "Transit Police have been very proactive in working with Local Service Areas to target known offenders. More attention has also been paid to transit corridors such as train and tram routes." "The increasing prevalence of CCTV throughout the state, particularly the metropolitan area, has been invaluable in identifying graffiti offenders." Offences categorised as "abduction, harassment and other offences" were also highest in Sturt, where there were 320 over the 12 months. The Sturt Local Service Area runs from Hallett Cove and Aberfoyle Park in the south, to Mile End in the north and as far east as Leawood Gardens.

Theft from shops (1106 offences) and aggravated robberies (177) were also most common in the Elizabeth LSA, which comprises Parafield Gardens, Salisbury and Elizabeth. Mr Burns said the Elizabeth and Sturt policing areas could be expected to have the most frequent crime as they were the most populous. "Resourcing to these LSAs is allocated to reflect both their geographical size, population and crime rates," he said. Statewide, the statistics show that total victim-reported crime was down 6 per cent over the past year.
