During one stolen property related matter in 2011, one male was arrested for being in possession of a stolen caravan valued at $128,000.

The male was charged with receiving tainted property and the caravan was recovered.

Crime Stoppers Queensland released these figures yesterday to coincide with Crime Stoppers Day being celebrated today in the city.

Chief executive officer Trevor O'Hara said, "It seems that the Mount Isa community has refused to tolerate ongoing crime occurring within their local area and have persisted with anonymous information reports to Crime Stoppers Queensland in record numbers throughout 2011, with remarkable success."

Mr O'Hara said since it began operation in 1989, Crime Stoppers Queensland has received over 615,342 phone calls and 9,309 website reports (since 2007).

The information received has led to over 56,398 criminal charges being laid and has helped to recover in excess of $9.9 million in stolen property. Anonymous reports have also helped to solve 21 murders and 19 attempted murders in the State over the last 22 years.

Last year alone Crime Stoppers Queensland received 53,421 anonymous phone calls and 3,063 website reports up from 49,835 and 2,096 respectively in 2010.

Mr O'Hara said, "That's a 7 per cent increase in telephone calls and a 46 increase in website reports in one year, demonstrating how the Queensland public trust our organisation to maintain their anonymity and help solve and prevent crime.

"As a direct result of this information flow through Crime Stoppers, and the subsequent investigative work of the Queensland Police Service personnel, a total of 1,795 offenders were arrested on 4,692 charges during 2011," Mr O'Hara said.

"Store the number 1 800 333 000 in your phone now. You never know when you might see or hear something which you can share anonymously with Crime Stoppers and help to protect our Queensland way of life", Mr O'Hara said.

n Crime Stoppers Mount Isa will have a small information display on the footpath in Simpson Street from 10am today to coincide with Crime Stoppers Day. For more information contact Octavian 0439801297.
