The crime rate is soaring here

Friday, 27th August 2021

• I’VE only lived in Brecknock Road for four years but I am now witnessing a level of crime I’ve not seen before.

I have just seen another taped-off area; I had my own car broken into three times; and I saw a woman getting her bag snatched by moped riders. I have seen drivers smashing into cars and then driving off.

It’s like living in the Wild West slowly and we are having to get used to seeing taped-off areas here. And despite all of this, the council says there is not a lot of crime here.
