Vehicle crime and burglary figures down
The number of people committing vehicle crime and domestic burglary in Northern Ireland has fallen over the past year, new figures from the Northern Ireland Policing Board have revealed.
According to the Board's third annual report, there were 14,500 fewer victims of crime in the province for the period April 2003 to March 2004, however Board chairman Professor Desmond Rea said that despite this fall there was "no doubt" that a fear of crime still existed.
"I trust that the wider community will be assured that Northern Ireland is a relatively safe place to live however this must now be maintained and areas of concern addressed," Professor Rea said.
"Since its creation in November 2001, the board has been getting on with the business on the policing agenda and substantial progress has been made by the PSNI in effecting changes to policing structures, processes and practices," he added.
More than 200,000 homes are expected to receive a colour supplement review of this year's report which will come free with Northern Ireland's three daily newspapers.
