The report of the increase of crime in Westville North since the removal of the mobile satellite station is almost beyond belief.
According to the article in the Highway Mail, the crime in that area had decreased by 80 per cent while the unit was in place.
Based on the success of such an operation one could imagine that many more such units would be deployed across the province, if not the whole country.
That is to say, if the authorities are really serious about combating crime.
It boggles the mind that not only was the unit removed after such spectacular success, but that they are now trying to ‘locate it and place it (back) there’.
