ReplyDeleteAdvice you just can't get anywhere else.
Not sure where these numbers come from, but there were 20-30 cars hit in Wyngate last week, including at least one raised on blocks so its wheels could be taken. Ask the police for the real stats.
ReplyDelete9:02: I wouldn't be surprised. They don't share all incidents or data with the public. Some crimes in the later, official report are not in the data. And, vice-versa, some crimes in the data don't show up in the report. The number of crimes you reference was definitely not reflected in the data feeds through April 9 incident data.
DeleteThose issues aside, the data remains very useful because I was still able to alert residents that there was a wave of thefts in that area. Which is the whole point of my crime reports.
