The numbers are in.

Crime in Midland, TX in 2006 compared to 2005.

Murder up 250%
Robbery up 52%
Auto theft up 30 something %

Don't worry MPD Chief Urby has a plan. Blame Odessa, what a load of crap. Chief Urby said that about half the crimes committed in Midland are by Odessans. Just so you know Chief, that doesn't matter. If there in your town it's your responsibility. Blame Odessa, way to take a proactive stance.

It's not all bad news sexual assault, and assault are both down. I don't have the numbers. I saw it on the news but can't find the information on the Internet.
