Police on Monday reported an overall decline in criminal activity as they represented the official crime statistics for 2018.<\/p>

Murders fell from 20 in 2017 to 12 in 2018. Eight of them have been solved according to Acting Police Commissioner Atlee Rodney.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We do not have any serious leads on them,” Rodney said of the four unsolved murders.<\/p>

Robberies fell from 108 in 2017 to 88 in 2018. Larceny was also down in 2018 with 895 cases reported as opposed to 1066 in 2017.<\/p>
