Crime ‘on decline’

CRIME IS DOWN, even though the police say they do not have enough crime-fighters.
Acting Commissioner of Police Tyrone Griffith announced yesterday that overall crime was down five per cent on last year. He said it was a “significant” drop in what had been “a pretty successful year” for the police.
“Predatory crimes, especially robberies and thefts from persons and street crimes” were down, according to Griffith.
He said street crime had fallen off as the police made inroads into illegal activity spawned by the cash-for-gold business.
