Home invasions, stabbings, mysterious trails of blood…if you’ve been listening to the news lately you might think there’s more crime happening in Saint John than usual.
But when CHSJ asked Police Chief Bill Reid what he thinks, he was quick to dispell that impression, saying it’s only because a couple of incidents have happened in a similar time frame that people are concerned.
Reid says we’ve actually seen a crime reduction in recent years, and the only reason we find these incidents so shocking is because we see so little of that kind of thing overall.
