Source: WA Police Force crime statistics, locality data (selected offences), 1 July 2025 to 30 June 2026. Area: Cannington as defined by the source. Figures are counts of offences recorded by police for the whole suburb, not rates per resident. Busy centres draw workers, shoppers and visitors, so their counts are higher. Recorded crime also depends on what is reported and how it is policed, and past figures do not predict future risk.

Cannington security tip
Keep keys and garage remotes out of the car
With so much of Cannington's recorded crime being theft, keep car keys, garage remotes and gate fobs out of parked cars, both at the shops and in your own driveway. A stolen remote or spare key opens the house as well. A camera and sensor light covering the driveway and garage door adds a record if someone tries a car at night.
