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.
