(WBFF) — According to the latest BPD data released on December 18th, robberies in the Southeast district are up 83% in a 28-day period.
That data is compared to the same time period last year.
Those numbers include all robberies, meaning personal, commercial and carjackings.
According to a crime dashboard, six carjackings, 10 commercial robberies and 51 personal robberies have taken place in the Patterson Park neighborhood so far this year.
While the data does not break down the age of the suspects, many residents, like Arch McKown, believe the majority of the crimes are being committed by juveniles.
“It’s a major source of for all of us in the community to see the same kids that are coming back and here and are committing violent crimes of opportunity, like armed carjackings," McKown said.
McKown says some of the crimes being committed in the Southeast district, may be going unreported.
“Latino folks who get robbed, often times that don’t report those robberies, right. So those go unreported. I hear about them sometimes through the grapevine," McKown said.
