ArmInfo. In 2009 crime rate in Yerevan was up by 1/3, Major General
Nerses Nazaryan, Head of Yerevan Police Department, said in a press
conference on Friday.
He said that last year 7026 crimes were registered, which is by
2210 cases more than in 2008. Half of the crimes registered in the
country were committed in Yerevan. Crime rate grew mainly because
of property crimes and offences against a person. The number of
weapons confiscated from the population doubled (353 weapons). At
the same time, N. Nazaryan said crime detection grew to 71.5% and
murder detection totaled 60%. Over the last year, 91 criminal gangs
comprising over 240 people were arrested. Those gangs committed 416
crimes. Another 50 offences were registered in public areas, including
13 in the areas patrolled by the police. Major General Nazaryan said
that activity of the Police Patrol Service needs improvement.
