Residents in Mowbray were saying the same thing about students getting mugged as they walk along Main Road through the centre of Mowbray. We need cameras to move to all these hot spots ASAP and catch these criminals in the act and with preventative action! Marc

I rent a room in my home to foreign students and the rate at which they are targeted by criminals is alarming. My last guest was threatened with a knife 4 times in the last month alone walking to class in broad daylight and his bike was stolen last week. The foreign students talk amongst themselves about the crime and their experiences. They are considered easy targets and very seldom report crime for various reasons. Criminals come from far and wide for the opportunity to prey on them. If the development goes ahead, and I understand that the development is geared mostly towards providing student accommodation, we will have more students, more criminals coming into the area and more crime. Another reason to object to the new development.
