Crime in Borehamwood drops by 15 per cent
10:16am Wednesday 12th September 2012 in News By Anna Slater
New figures show that crime in Borehamwood has dropped in the last year.
The statistics, revealed at the Borehamwood and Elstree Community Safety Partnership meeting last night, show crime in the town has gone down by 15 per cent.
This includes shoplifting, burglary and fuel theft.
Motor theft has also dropped by a staggering 50 per cent.
Speaking at last night’s meeting at Hertsmere Borough Officers, in Elstree Way, Sergeant Sally Phillips said these figures are “promising.”
She added: “Everyone was concerned that we would have a spike in crime during the Olympics, so these figures show we are on the right track.”
In Hertsmere as a whole, crime has also dropped by 14 per cent.

You always hear about certain areas seeing a lower crime rate when one or two people are locked up..
Is there information available like this for Borehamwood? - A nice bit of naming and shaming would be great reading!

What would be interesting to find out is wether this is related to certain people from Borehamwood recently being placed in prison?

But, because the courts are not as interested in our safety as they should be. They only award short sentences for these crimes.
So don't worry - the victim count will soon be rising again. Much to the pleasure of the liberals, The Howard League and Liberty!
