3rd Precinct Crime Statistics for the week ending 08/17/2008
The good news is that overall crime in the Ironbound is down 15% from last year. However, three types of crime are up… way up. Robberies, aggravated assaults, and burglaries are up between 20%-35%. Please be aware of your surroundings at all times (day and night) and make sure to report suspicious activity and any crime.
Let’s help keep Newark safe. If we don’t report crime than we will lose out on police presence.
UPDATE: We were mentioned by the Star-Ledger but we really owe it to Detective Jim Bircsak for keeping the Newark Police Department’s website updated.
