More crime in the suburbs. This time in Kincora, as yesterday's house fire that killed a girl, now looks like a homicide.

One only needs to go through previous pages of this thread to see that most of the crime is in the core.

One thing I've noticed when it comes to crime in this city is that a lot of it happens in the north east, I was punched in the Franklin LRT station and a man followed me to my car when I was parked at Whitehorn.

However I haven't had problems like this in the rest of the city, even downtown has been pleasant.
