Crime drops in past year

The incidence of crime on the Peninsula has fallen over the last year, the Peninsula Chamber of Commerce has been told.

Police Superintendent Danny Sullivan spoke of local crime statistics at a chamber meeting late last year.

Chamber president Mr Matthew Wales said: "In a refreshing exchange of views, the superintendent has said that crime statistics across the board have been lower over the last 12 months and that he is very pleased with his policing numbers.

"Like the Chamber, he has acknowledged that the CCTV cameras in our town centres have made a big difference in reducing anti-social behaviour and graffiti and boosted security.

"He has also given a firm commitment to greater interaction between his office and the local business community so we are looking forward to seeing more of Superintendent Sullivan and his officers in the New Year," said Mr Wales.
