Crime levels down last year.

Saturday, February 25, 2012

Although there has been a spate of burglary's in recent months the reported crime levels for last year are encouraging. The only exception for the Blanchardstown area is the rise in incidents where fire arms have been discharged. Much of this is related to the  various gangs and republican groups involved in the drug trade and extortion.
