REPORTS to Crime Stoppers from the bayside last year led to 57 arrests, 175 charges laid by police and the seizure of drugs worth $106,895.
The arrest of a Birkdale man on burglary charges came after Crime Stoppers received information about drug selling in September.
While executing a search warrant, police allegedly located drug paraphernalia and later stolen property.
A call to Crime Stoppers about the possible identity of someone responsible for attacking a Wellington Point man in 2015 also led to an arrest last year.
An online submission about drug selling from a house in Capalaba resulted in an investigation that culminated in police charging three people with 11 offences, including supplying cannabis and possessing amphetamines.
In the Crime Stoppers region of Brisbane Bayside, which includes Redlands, police also recovered property worth $1375 and confiscated crime proceeds to the value of $10,120, as a result of reports to Crime Stoppers.
Across Queensland, Crime Stoppers recorded its highest ever number of annual arrests as a direct result of reports made to the community program last year.
The figures released on Monday as part of the organisation’s Annual Results Celebration Day show reports in 2016 led to 3102 arrests and 8857 charges being placed.
Crime Stoppers Queensland chief executive officer Trevor O’Hara said it was the first time the organisation had reached over 3000 offenders arrested in one year.
“These are history-making results and the best statistics we’ve seen since our program commenced in 1989,” he said.
There were arrest increases for charges including the possession, supply and trafficking of drugs, and sexual and weapons offences.
“We have been working hard to educate the community about what types of contacts the Crime Stoppers program can assist with.”
Mr O’Hara said the work of more than 600 volunteers and the support of police investigators and intelligence officers underpinned the organisation’s success.
