Kedron recorded 848 offences between 16 October 2024 and 16 October 2025, according to the Queensland Police Service’s Online Crime Map. The figures indicate a suburb where most incidents involved property, theft, and vehicle-related offences rather than violent crime.



The QPS heatmap shows strong concentrations of offences along Gympie Road and Kedron Brook Road, extending through residential areas near Leckie Road and Kitchener Road. These locations correspond to the suburb’s busiest transport and commercial corridors, which naturally attract higher activity levels throughout the day.

The most common offences were other theft (excluding unlawful entry), unlawful entry, and unlawful use of a motor vehicle. These accounted for nearly half of all incidents over the 12-month period. Other recurring offences included property damage, fraud, drug offences, and traffic and related offences.

Time-of-day data shows the 2 pm to 10 pm window recorded the highest number of offences (330), followed by 10 pm to 6 am (295) and 6 am to 2 pm (223). This pattern reflects an evening-heavy crime profile, where most reports occur in the later part of the day.

The date-range chart indicates the highest monthly totals were recorded in January (78), March (81), and August 2025 (90). The quietest months were October 2024 (40 offences), March 2025 (62), and July 2025 (66), showing clear mid-year and early-spring dips in reported incidents.

Most incidents recorded were opportunistic thefts, property offences, or vehicle-related matters typical of busy mixed-use suburbs.



Overall, the data presents Kedron as a moderate-crime but active suburb, where offence patterns correlate closely with traffic density, shopping areas, and commuting routes. The statistics suggest that practical vigilance — such as securing vehicles and valuables — remains the simplest way to prevent most incidents.
