well here in the alert center, we're taking a look at the most recent crime statistics released by the NYPD for the month of july and folks, I've got to be honest with you. It's not looking great right now. The first thing I noticed is that the for the month of july all of the crimes have gone up since june. Now let's take a look at what we're looking at this month in july versus last year. The ones that I've noticed have had the largest increases murder robbery and grow grand larceny right here. So murder up 34% robbery up 37.2%. We've covered a lot of those incidents right here in the alert center and then grand larceny up 40.6%. And just to give you an idea that is about 1326 more incidents this year in july versus last year in july. Now I want to take a look at where exactly some of These crimes are taking place here. Released by the NYPD here. Take a look at this transit up 56.9%. Housing crime on housing up 13% and shooting incidents up 13.4%. Just this month. We've seen an increase this month versus last month. The only one we've seen a slight decrease and I really want to emphasize slight decrease this month versus last month is housing housing 538 incidents this month versus 567 incidents last month. Now the N. Y. P. D. Says that they've taken more than 4300 firearms year to date and citywide gun arrests are at a 27 year high. So you can bet this is something we're definitely gonna be keeping a close eye on right here in the alert center, and once we find out more, we'll let you know Christy.
