Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - There appears to have been a recent in increase in the number of violent crimes reported in Campbell River.
According to Cst Maurey Tyre, “For the last three or four years, we have seen a general spike in calls for service in Campbell River. One of those years actually saw roughly a 12% increase. A lot of those increases based on things like calls for service, checking wellbeing and things like that. But effectively, when there is an increase in calls for service, you're also going to have an increase in violence.”
