FOUR Gold Coast suburbs are among the worst crime hotspots for home break-ins in Queensland, with most thieves targeting cash and jewellery.

Broadbeach, Broadbeach Waters, Mermaid Beach and Mermaid Waters were on the list as the worst on the Gold Coast but it was two Logan City suburbs that are the states worst for home break-ins.

That is according to RACQ Insurances Home Security Index, based on claims lodged with the company last year.

RACQ executive manager of insurance communications Mike Sopinski said Crestmeadand Marsden led Queensland in the category, with 3.4 per cent of policy holders lodging claims.

Ellen Grove and Forest Lake, in Brisbanes southwest, were the next worst suburbs, with a claims/theft incidence rate of 2.64, meaning 2.64 out of every 100 policy-holders lodged claims.

But Logan police claim a crackdown in the city has cut the crime rate this year.
