Crime Figures Drop In South Wales

Joe King — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 13:27:23 +0000

According to a recent Home Office report South Wales crime figures have seen a significant drop.

South Wales Chief Constable Peter Vaughan comments;

“This is excellent news for South Wales Police and the communities we serve. We have played a significant role – along with our partners and the public in cutting crime to levels which are unprecedented in the region since the introduction of National Crime Recording Standards in April 2002.

“I am also delighted by the fact that our crime detection rates are continuing to increase across the spectrum of crime and particularly in some of the more serious offences categories such as robbery, sexual offences, and violence against the person. This reflects our professional approach to crime investigation against a backdrop of reducing crime.”

South Wales Police say crime figures have dropped for year 2009/10.

	Reduced Figures December 2009/10
Violent Crime	>2500
Vehicle Crime	4420
Dwelling Burglaries	1108
Sexual Offences	175

Jail for teenagers!

Sometimes people just happen to be in the wrong place at a particular time. This was the case with David Parker, a student at Swansea University, who was walking back to his digs at the University on the 3rd of June. The defendants from the West Midlands, in a unprovoked attack, threw a bottle at him which struck Mr Parker on the head. They then proceeded to beat him up and stole his wallet containing just £42.
