I enjoy reading fact that police catch these criminals but coming close to desember times the crime is rising especially in the lower side primrose east. House brake in’s and theft are becoming a problem. I think a bit more street patrolling will maybe change that. A community protection preceant should arise and make our area more safe. A person works hard to build up what they have to let people who are to lazy to do something decent with there lifes just take it all away. Its not a matter of black and white. We All work very hard to get somewhere in life. Let’s stand up together and do something about it.
