Vic Street experiences increase in crime

There have been recent cases of car vandalism in Vic Street recently. Many residents who own cars have been filing complaints to police stations saying that had found their cars mysteriously damaged severly. Police officers are currently working to catch the culprits. In addition, there have been reports that the vandals have not just been damaging cars but also have been doing the same in many areas of public space in the area.

However, vandalism is only just one of the problems that Vic Street is facing. People in the neighbourhood,living in HDBs and houses alike, say that they have been victims of robbery."Its terrible",said one resident whose home had been burgled."I found some things missing and that the grill had been slightly shifted. That must have been how they broke in". Some of them have been taking measures to strengthen their homes to ensure that this won't happen again to them.

Shops too, apparently, are not safe from the rising crime wave thats been hitting the neighbourhood. Some of the shops in the area have also suffered with people shoplifting items from them. Despite measures taken to catch them, only a few have been caught and it seems that the arrests have done little to deter others from doing the same. The local police officers have decided to work with the shopowners in reducing the rate of shoplifting."We will also be counting on the people,too,"one of them added."Their aid will be vital in weakening the crime rate that we've all been facing."
