Concerned citizens have Calgary police ramping up their presence in Bridgeland after an empty house was set on fire and the area vandalized late February.[]

“There was a great deal of drug consumption within the house and criminal activity around the area,” McMath said. “Houses keep getting broken into, so we have some extra resources in that area to keep people from breaking in.”

Looks like the jury is out on this Mission murder:

Hmmm, two suspicious deaths in Southview and not a peep from our usually oh so keen resident crime reporter.

I love how our police force is so averse to giving out details. How about telling us how and why they died.

My thought is double suicide. If it was accidental like carbon monoxide poisoning I expect it would be well publicized, and what are the odds of two simultaneous medical emergency deaths.

Seems like a strange place for a double suicide.

Remind me to stay away from the burbs.

Man - can you guys stay on topic please? Discuss non-criminal activity somewhere other than the crime thread. Maybe the watercooler thread?

Emergency crews found three victims at the home, said EMS spokesperson Stuart Brideaux.

A woman in her mid-30s with a soft tissue injury was taken to hospital in stable condition. Two other victims, a 30-year-old woman and a woman in her mid-20s, were taken to hospital in serious, but stable condition with injuries to their faces.

Around 20 minutes after the initial report, Brideaux said EMS was called to a second location in the 6700 block of 22nd Avenue N.E. There, they found a woman in her mid-40s who had also sustained an injury at the Castleridge home.

Has anyone noticed that Crime has seriously gone down in Calgary this year?

Rollerstud98 · #**1296** Posted **Apr 26, 2017, 1:26 AM**

Even the criminals are too broke to get out of their houses?

Yeah only 6 so far this year, we've been averaging around 20 over the past decade. A Few year's even over 30.
I think where likely to finish under 20 for the 1st time in a while.
