megilleland Posted January 7, 2015 Report Posted January 7, 2015 This is becoming more and more common over the past few years in Hereford, what on earth goes on... Your comment seems to be borne out in Worcester and elsewhere in the UK: Friday 2 January 2015 in Worcester News Violent crime in Worcester rises by nearly one-fifth in a year SHOCK statistics reveal the number of violent crimes committed in Worcester has risen by almost one-fifth in the past year. The latest figures show that between January and November 2014, there were 1,601 violent incidents - compared to 1,346 in the same period the year before. This equates to a year-on-year increase of 18.9 per cent, according to data on the UKCrimeStats website. And last week in Redbridge: Police deny rise in knife crime and gang link after four stabbed in one week Fears knife crime could be on the rise in Redbridge have been played down by police – who said last week’s spate of attacks were not connected.

I think I just meant to say that violent crime in Hereford over the past few years seems to be on the increase, well it does to me, another unnecessary tragic incident Quote
