Crime on the Peninsula
Fourth quarter 2014 crime on the Peninsula took an uptick in comparison to 2013 crime statistics for the same period. The individual components were Burglary, Residence which increased from 27 to 45 (65%); Burglary, Other Structure from 5 to 14 (180%) and Vehicle Burglary from 15 to 20 (33%). Theft from Vehicles and Other Larceny / Theft decreased slightly. Grand Theft Auto increased 37% (from 8 to 11). It is not our intent to trivialize these events nor to make victims into villains, but when one reads the crime reports much what has been stolen (Burglary) is from unlocked vehicles; cell phones, I-pads etc. left in plain sight in both locked and unlocked vehicles.
