Vancouver records increase in crime with particularly high numbers in some areas

BY , Sep 17, 2020 11:56 PM - REPORT AN ERROR

Vancouver police say the latest statistics suggest an uptick in crime across the city.

A report comparing numbers for the first six months of 2020 to the same period last year suggests an increase in violent crime by more than five per cent.

Police noted increases in all areas of the city but they say areas including Strathcona, downtown and Yaletown recorded particularly high numbers.

Deputy Chief Constable Howard Chow says police are, ``very concerned about the increase in the most serious crimes across the city.''
