NSW Robbery Statistics 2025

The latest figures from the NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research (BOCSAR) reveal a stable trend in robbery incidents across most regions of New South Wales between July 2023 and June 2025. While overall robbery rates remain relatively low statewide, clear regional differences persist.

Sydney’s Baulkham Hills, Sutherland, and Northern Beaches recorded some of the lowest robbery rates in NSW, confirming their reputation as safe and family-friendly areas. In contrast, higher rates were reported in inner-city and high-density areas such as Sydney City, Parramatta, and Blacktown, reflecting population concentration and urban activity levels.

For property buyers and investors, understanding local safety data is essential. Lower crime rates often correlate with stronger buyer confidence, stable property values, and long-term investment appeal. The following table summarises robbery data by region, highlighting both the count of incidents and the rate per 100,000 residents.
