Data released by the Crime Statistics Agency on Thursday revealed Corangamite and Colac-Otway shires had the state's highest rate of offences per 100,000 population.

Corangamite topped the list with the highest figure (445.9 offences per 100,000) recorded between March and June.

However the number of offences was relatively low - 71 in the four-month period.

Of the 71 offences recorded in Corangamite, 24 were committed on May 16.

Colac-Otway had the second highest rate with 398.3 per 100,000.

The local government area recorded a total of 86 COVID-19 offences, 12 of which were recorded on the Good Friday public holiday.

Colac-Otway's top three days for COVID-19 offences were weekends or public holiday days.

The shire has had two major coronavirus clusters during the pandemic, with the first outbreak occurring at the Australian Lamb Company and the second at the Bulla ice creamery.

COVID-19 tickets issued throughout the region included $1652 each for people attending parties and dinner events at residential homes, and $9913 issued to the operators of the Anchor Belle Motel in Warrnambool after police busted prostitutes operating from the business.

A total 6062 offences were reported across all of Victoria between March and June.

Close to one in three offences occurred between midnight and 6am.

Almost one in five offences were committed over the Easter long weekend (April 10-13).

The data revealed 58 per cent of offences occurred on the street or footpath, while 14 per cent were in a house or apartment.

Police recorded 5474 individual people for breaching COVID-19 restriction offences.

The average (mean) age of offenders was 29.5 and one of out four offenders were female, while three-quarters were male.

Of those offenders, 65 per cent had previously been recorded as an offender prior to their first breach.

A state of emergency was declared in Victoria on March 16. This provided the Chief Health Officer with additional powers to issue directions to restrict movement to help contain the spread of COVID-19.

In late March, restrictions were introduced to limit non-essential activities, movement and close personal contact to limit the spread of the virus. An on-the-spot COVID-19 fine of $1652 for individuals and up to $9913 for businesses was introduced to enforce restrictions.
