MHK's warning as chief constable's report goes to Tynwald
A Douglas South MHK says some elderly people are 'living in fear' due to anti-social behaviour.
Chief Constable Gary Roberts' annual report was received by Tynwald this morning (21 July).
It highlighted a 'year like no other' in which crime on the Island rose by 18 per cent.
Members debated the outcome of the report with some sharing the experiences of their constituents.
Paul Quine gave examples of what officers are up against:
Manxman won't return to service until end of September
Steam Packet says the situation is hugely disappointing
Steam Packet urged to be more 'transparent' over Manxman issues
Nature of work keeping boat in dry dock goes unexplained
Government needs to 'break the cycle' of child poverty on Island
Committee report accepted by Tynwald in court's final sitting
Proportion on waiting lists likely higher than England
