Crime rates up

Crime rates are on the increase. North Wales Police have interactive Crime Maps where you can see the increases in Crime in North and South Flintshire. In November 2009 Burglaries had increased by 7.4%. Violent Crime had increased by nearly 20% on the same period last year, a huge increase. Robberies are up 16.7%. Anti social behaviour has fallen by 10%, Antoinette Sandbach said "It is clear that the Government's policies are not working. The news that more and more police forces are dealing with serious crime by fixed penalty notices, is an insult to victims and a sign of failing Government policies.''
