"gun crime" on the rise in London

Post by Bruenor »

Seems the complete removal of firearms hasn't worked.. Criminals are still acting like criminals.

Last year, gun crime offences in London increased for a third year running and by 42 per cent, from 1,793 offences in 2015/16 to 2,544 offences in 2016/17. Police have seized 635 guns off the streets so far this year.
"knife crime" is increasing as well.

Knife crime has soared to a five-year high since Theresa May curbed police use of stop and search tactics.

Offences involving a blade or other sharp weapon rose by 14 per cent to 32,448 in the year to December 2016, the biggest total since 2011.

I would say that this is a great thread, aside from the fact that it is total fiction...
