Do you remember Bihar of the 90s? During that time, criminals ruled Bihar. No one could say what would happen to whom. People were so terrified that they would hide in their homes as soon as evening fell. But now Bihar has changed. Crime has not stopped, but people roam around fearlessly even late at night. But today we are going to tell you about a city, knowing about which you will again remember that Bihar of the 90s. But don’t worry, this city is not in our country, but in England. The name of this city is Scarborough. Many tourists come to this city of Britain, but its internal condition is so bad that parents do not take their children out there after dark.
However, despite the rise in crime, the seaside town of Scarborough still attracts crowds, but both locals and tourists start to worry about their safety as the night falls. This town in North Yorkshire is plagued by alcohol, begging and homelessness. According to The Express report, the crime rate in Scarborough is 34% higher than in Yorkshire and Humber. Not only this, it is 74% higher than the combined figures for England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Local police say that they are doing everything possible to deal with crime in the city centre, including banning drinking alcohol on the streets. But despite this, people are still worried that the crime situation in the city can be dire after dark.
The reasons for the rising crime include drinking, begging and people not having a home to live in. 37-year-old Louis Stringer, who works at Mick Grime Shellfish, a seafood restaurant on the seashore, lives in the city with his wife and child, but he says that he will not allow his family to go to the city center at night. According to him, Scarborough used to be a good, prosperous city, but now crime is increasing. Seeing someone alone, criminals attack with knives, which can even lead to death. Not only this, incidents of theft have also increased a lot.
Business owner Jonathan Thompson said: “Scarborough is at the extreme end of the UK and attracts a lot of people. But people tend to get into a bad situation in the town. However, the whole town is not bad. There is a lot of drinking in the town centre which leads to crime, but the rest of Scarborough is pretty good.” A spokesman for North Yorkshire Police said: “The police work closely with North Yorkshire Council to tackle crime and disorder in Scarborough and make it a safe place for residents, businesses and tourists. This may be responsible for the reduction in crime.”
