There has been a rather big increase in serious crime and petty larcenics in 1940, compared with 1939, it was learned from the Hon. Mr C. G. Perdue, Acting Commissioner of Police, on Saturday.

Mr Perdue stated that in 1940 the number of serious crimes was 16218 s against 11,504 in 1939. The nam ber of petty larcenies had also gone up considerably, but there had been, a reduction in the number of out- rages or offences against persons with violence.
