WHITE PLAINS, NY — After four years of year-to-year declines, key crime statistics in Westchester County increased 6.6% over the last full year for which there is data.
Between 2019 and 2020, Index crimes, violent crimes and property crimes, rose from 9,664 to 10,306 according to data on the New York State Department of Criminal Justice Services website.
In a speech Wednesday, Westchester County Executive George Latimer was having none of it, claiming crime has been decreasing since 2017 and calling out anyone who might disagree with him after a pair of videos of smash and grab robberies at the Westchester Mall went viral earlier this month.
It is not binary.
