Crime down 6% for March, up 1% for year
Crime in the Penn Patrol zone decreased 6 percent in March compared to March last year, but the year-to-date crime total rose 1 percent from 2006 to 2007, Division of Public Safety officials said. Despite the slight overall increase in crime in 2007, Vice President for Public Safety Maureen Rush said she was pleased with decreases in robberies, burglaries and aggravated assaults - crimes that she said are of particular concern to DPS because they directly endanger victims.
