VPD release first quarter crime stats

Crime stats so far this year in Vancouver are good… and bad.

Violent crimes dropped nearly seven per cent in the first three months of 2012, but property crimes are up more than three per cent.

Traffic fatalities are also down 40 per cent, while response times rose more than nine.

The numbers are being presented to the police board on Wednesday… when they’ll be discussed in greater detail.
