00:00Tell me what low-level crimes you think police seem to struggle to get to grips with?

00:04I think basically what has happened, the previous government who've been in power a long time

00:12has not given care, attention to increase the police force. The police right now have a shortage

00:22of manpower and I know what happened to me personally a month ago my mobile was hacked

00:31somebody used and has fraudulent taking some money and I was trying to get hold of a police

00:38for one hour it go beyond Joe I could not get hold of the police and so need to restructure

00:47the police force get the priority right unless we get that right in my opinion we're not going

00:56to tackle the crime is happening. What set lower level crimes do you think police seem to struggle

01:04to be able to stop? There's a lot of nuisance happening around in the city centre so I'd like

01:13to see that. Do you ever complain about it? No.

01:19You tell me what low-level crimes you think police struggle to get a grip on?

01:23Yeah absolutely I think the low-level burglaries I think there's a lot more

01:27of them happening and I think the police have just not got the resources to deal with that anymore.

01:34Low-level crimes in Sheffield do you think the police struggle to get hold of in terms

01:38of dealing with them? Possibly shoplifting because there aren't enough

01:42placements in our city and because people are perhaps shoplifting every day because it's easy

01:47to go into a shop and just pocket things I mean you just don't know what kind of security they've

01:52got but other than that I'm not quite sure. Yeah they were generally stealing I once had my bike

01:58stolen nothing with them about that even though they had CTV on it but you know they haven't got

02:05enough time to deal with them. What low-level crimes do police seem unable to stop? Like a

02:13small pitching to the houses for example I'm living in Crosspool and sometime when we are away

02:20we found somebody from the backyard getting to trying to get to the house by smashing

02:30the glasses window glasses so we reported the police but they didn't find any answer for that

02:41so by more coming frequent visits and stuff like that that could improve this kind of low-price crimes.
