OPP Cracking Down on Property Crimes

The OPP say they expect to see a decrease in the number of break and enters, thefts and mischief incidents in Kenora this year.

Inspector Dave Lucas released his year end report for 2011 to the Police Service Board yesterday.
Lucas says there was a big jump in property crimes last year, but they have managed to solve most of them.

Lucas says their efforts are paying off because they've already seen a big drop in property crimes through the first four months of this year compared to last year.

He adds that the incidence of violent crimes was also lower last year.
