Recent news

Day to day, that means reported burglaries and vehicle thefts, shoplifting and organized retail theft, vandalism to homes and businesses, and the arrests and prevention efforts that follow. Coverage reaches across the city and into the surrounding communities wherever an incident crosses the line. Seasonal patterns, such as holiday package theft and summer vehicle break-ins, shape which stories rise in a given month. Reported totals rarely tell the whole story, since changes in how incidents are recorded can shift the numbers as much as shifts on the street.
