Just how many police do we have in the city? This is getting ridiculous.

I wonder whether a correlation exists between the robberies and the poor economic climate.

NEWCASTLE IS OUT OF CONTROL!!!!!

I have heard it reported the reason behind the increase in robberies is because of drugs. The answer is simple.... Decriminalise drugs. Let them get scripts to buy affordable drugs. The Courts lists are about 70% about drugs so Police work would also be about 70% dealing with drugs and about 70% of the costs of corrective services would be about drugs. Legalise drugs and your home and car insurances will decrease and you can go on a holiday without freaking out about home security.

Out of 40 armed robberies in the last 3 months, how many arrests were made? So far, we've heard of 3 men arrested and charged for 5 robberies. What about the rest of 35 robberies? Those criminals are still out there, waiting for the first opportunity. Lack of CCTV cams and frequent police patrols, lenient sentencing by the Magistrates have encouraged crime. Did the police identify those who vandalised the properties in Cardiff, Glendale last week? How can we protect our families against those criminals, when the police and law can't protect us? Who is responsible to restore order and law?
