Lubbock Feb 07 Weekly Crime Report: 173 Incidents and 20 Crime Stories
During the last week, Lubbock recorded a total of 173 crime incidents. A breakdown of the crime types reveals a worrying trend of violence with Assault leading the list at 79 cases. Theft followed closely with 46 reported incidents, while Burglary was third with 33 cases. Less frequent but still significant were cases of Vandalism and Arson, standing at 12 and 3 respectively. The data indicates a pressing need for heightened security measures and public awareness campaigns in the place. It is essential to curb the escalating cases of Assault, which currently constitute approximately 46% of the total crimes. Similarly, Theft and Burglary, which account for 26% and 19% of the total crimes respectively, need to be addressed promptly. The low figures for Vandalism and Arson, although relatively less severe, should not be overlooked as they still pose a threat to the safety and well-being of the community.
