After several incidents, many people in St. George are wondering if crime is on the rise?

There is no doubt the St. George area is growing. Any resident can tell you their concerns about the rapid growth when it comes to traffic, water, and rising affordability.

[@MavHunter20XX]

The answer is YES. Do research, get educated, get organized. The only way you're going to combat this is to wise up, communicate, get equiped and DON'T VOTE STUPID.

[@johnwootton9031]

Lol true

[@inframatic]

looks like its the same groups causing the same trouble. Some need a cultural overhaul

[@user-yt3hv2zv5h]

Crime on the rise and punishment going down.

[@jimbrady1372]

Muh diversity.

[@petef.4361]

Yes, it is on the rise, AND it actually has a name! It is called the "The Great Californication of Utah!"

[@DRFelGood]

Yep 👍 and the wonka bars passing through

[@JCcreates927]

So many people from CA moved here in the 90's that used to nothing new.

[@KenTheCurator]

i live in a great summit county neighborhood and the crime we deal with is committed by the meth addicted kids and grandkids of my elderly neighbours

[@timiburke7133]

Illegals???

[@sheepherder911]

"Blakes" or B-Ball Americans and then immigrants and/or Hispanics right below them. Both statistically attack "Wyatts" (sorry I'm having to code the speech because KZbin is run by the people that endorse this BS) at much higher rates than we attack them. Best to avoid the men and vet the women whenever possible.

[@inframatic]

plenty are citizens of a coddled group

[@lr2834]

How about blax?

[@fredcdc]

It's comforting to have concealed carry laws so citizens can protect their families.

[@CR055FIRE]

St George got the woogie boogie blues import ooga, get booga

[@maryjogreen1706]

This is from all the people moving in sickening we have it too every one is sick of it

[@sheepherder911]

​@@Plutogalaxy UT 'wyatt' population crime rate is low compared to "blake" and "braun" people. Objective fact that you can be mad about.

[@ReinEngel]

After stepping in several puddles, many people in St. George are wondering if it's raining? Good Lord.

[@TheIrishAmish]

California transplants

[@r.s.zabriskie1930]

Need to scour the city & residential ares with more cameras, everywhere, & anywhere!!!

[@LukeLamoreaux-eg7cy]

The crime rate in St. George really hasn't changed much. The city obviously lies about it. St. George news only covers things like "What Astronomical Sign is the Best at Eating Steak?" Instead of things like "Shooting Leaves 4 Dead" (those are both fake). But seriously most cities our size have a crime rate of about the same. The city only covers what they want you to hear so that you think it's just a sleepy old retirement community while in reality the MAJOR drug problem just gets swept under the rug we wipe our feet on.

[@tonyag69]

It's all of those future doctors and scholars that are moving in from Nevada and California. 😂😂

[@kh5603]

Lotsa child abuse cases too ... Ruby Franke & Company...

[@LagunaTrash]

Just say it....

[@bluecollardiesel]

Waiting to see if you’re afraid of saying it. Just say it.

[@netiestokes]

Illegal aliens

[@netiestokes]

Illegal migration. Gangs and criminals. Also thugs moving here from out of state. It's ruining our community. It's sad.

[@fishstank8432]

Nobody really listen to the article it’s not about people moving to Utah about people passing through Utah

[@HDPersonal777]

Community based organized Gangstalking on the rise?

[@Odin33356]

What a country

[@copyprint-fz2hb]

reporting crime is down ?

[@FarginIceholeful]

I dont think I can live in a place where crime is so rampant

[@trinarobinson1052]

I think there are of course some people in the city who are committing some crimes but like the news said it’s mostly people passing through. They stop here because our city is getting bigger. It sucks, St George is not the city I grew up in. ☹️

[@KhawmTiti]

I was thinking to move to this city, but now seeing these news...forget about it

[@Novastar.SaberCombat]

What gave it away

[@Dgafsranger]

Yes its on the rise stop with the cherry picking individual stats overall it is going up so it is factual and was stupid to try and counter that point with one stat saying its going down thats dishonest at best

[@LukeLamoreaux-eg7cy]

One crime. Everyone in the comments ST. GEORGE IS THE NEXT DETROIT!!!

[@alexx12566]

Liberal policies, dieversity what do you expect. Same factors again again

[@commandosquat3242]

St. Geroge is next to Nevada, hence California...

[@SharonMartinez1000]

[@youserper1234]
