Bardon recorded 195 offences between 27 May 2025 and 26 May 2026, according to data from the Queensland Police Service Online Crime Map. The figures show offences were most likely to occur late at night, with Sundays and November 2025 recording the strongest activity.
The data highlights clear patterns in when incidents are happening across the suburb throughout the year.
Overnight Hours Recorded the Highest Number of Offences
The busiest period for offences in Bardon was between 10 pm and 6 am, with 95 offences recorded during overnight hours.
Data from the time-of-day chart also shows a sharp concentration around 10 pm, suggesting many incidents were occurring late in the evening before midnight. The overnight total was the largest of the three time blocks shown in the data.
Sunday Recorded the Highest Weekly Total
Weekly figures showed Sunday recording the highest number of offences across the year, reaching more than 20 incidents.
Tuesday and Thursday were also among the busier days, while Monday recorded the lowest number of offences.
Apart from Sunday’s peak, offences were relatively spread across the week rather than concentrated on a single weekday.
November 2025 Stood Out as the Peak Month
Monthly figures show Bardon’s offence numbers fluctuated across the reporting period, with a major spike occurring in November 2025.
That month recorded 40 offences — the highest monthly total in the dataset and well above surrounding months.
October 2025 also showed elevated activity with about 26 offences, while July and August remained moderately high.
In contrast, offence numbers dropped noticeably in early 2026. February recorded one of the lowest monthly totals at about six offences, while April and May 2026 also remained relatively quiet.
The data shows a decline after November, although the screenshots do not identify a reason for the change.
Police Urge Residents to Lock Homes and Report Suspicious Activity
Police are continuing to encourage residents to report suspicious behaviour and take simple steps to reduce opportunistic crime.
Emergency situations or crimes in progress should always be reported by calling 000. For non-urgent incidents or general police assistance, residents can contact Policelink on 131 444.
Anonymous information about suspicious activity or unsolved crime can also be provided to Crime Stoppers Queensland on 1800 333 000 or online.
Police say many property offences involve opportunistic thieves targeting unlocked vehicles parked outside homes. In some cases, stolen garage remotes or keys are then used to gain access to garages and houses.
Residents are being reminded to lock doors, windows, and louvers before leaving home or going to sleep, and to avoid leaving valuables visible inside vehicles.
