Last weekend, thieves in Detroit managed to ruin 75 fire hydrants in just two days by taking the metal parts that connect hoses to the water system. Each stolen piece is worth about $600 when sold as scrap metal, meaning these criminals made thousands fast while leaving the city’s firefighters in a
Last year, Topeka saw fewer violent and property crimes, which the police department calls a win. But one problem didn’t budge: traffic incidents stayed stubbornly high.
