Philadelphia Crime Wave Of Burglary, Larceny & Auto Theft Spills Into Nearby Suburbs

[Story]

The crime wave that has been actively taking place in Philadelphia (among many other U.S. cities) is now starting to spread to the suburbs.

Crime statistics were up "double-digit percentages" in Delaware, Montgomery, and Bucks counties - three major suburban counties that border Philadelphia county - from 2021 to 2022, according to the Delaware Valley Journal.

The Pennsylvania Uniform Crime Reporting System shows that increasing crimes include burglary, larceny, and motor vehicle theft. Oddly, the report notes that Chester County, usually seen as a hotbed of crime near Philadelphia, saw its numbers decrease in almost ever statistical category.

In other words, the crime wave that started near the middle of 2020 appears to be moving out of the city and into the nearby suburbs.

How could this happen? I thought all the "criminal justice reforms" would deposit such wonderful, civic-minded, reformed young men amongst our midst?

The home dumpster near me has a police camera in the parking lot, and a cop in the store.
And people still steal from the store even when there is a cop patrolling.
I also see a lot of traffic violations, more than in recent years.

Laws are only being enforced against conservatives and the word is out that it's a free-for-all for the loony lefties.

More and more stores are getting cameras in the parking lot. That store is a real shit show.
