Tool theft is a significant and rising problem in Melbourne, with a
36.6% increase in the 12 months to March 2025, leading to a tool theft occurring approximately every two hours.
Thefts often occur from the back of work vans and on job sites, with criminals targeting unlocked vehicles and tools left visible.
