The number of reported crimes so far this year has fallen in comparison to the same period last year.<\/p>\n

The data measures reported crimes from January 1 through April 24 of this year compared to January 1 through April 24 of last year.<\/p>\n

Overall findings indicate that in the first four months of the year, there has been a drop in the number of crimes against property and a one per cent increase in the number of crimes against persons.<\/p>\n

As of April 24, the murder count stands at 40, in comparison to 42 in April 24 2011. Attempted murder has also dropped to three, from five.<\/p>\n
