Not sure who’s claiming that - there’s a good police stats tool here that says violent crime rates in Cov are lower than comparable areas, and they’re falling as well: https://www.police.uk/pu/your-area/west-midlands-police/performance/compare-your-area/?tc=CV010

I do think with the amount of violent/petty crime stuff that algorithms throw at us on social media it’s hard to escape the sense that violent crime is everywhere even when the stats say otherwise

That looks like the same place where there was a house siege last January. Wonder if it's the same people involved.

Surely it's got to be something like that or gang / drug related. Or are random people getting stabbed at 2pm in Earlsdon?

It pritty much is, where the incident happened last year is at the very top of that albeit on a different road.

Definitely a lot of undesirables moving into the area since covid. Seems the landlords have mostly given up on the student market now and letting to anyone and everyone.

Before anyone uses this incident as something to gossip about or make a point about crime stats etc., this happened on my street, so unless you know who was actually involved and what happened, have a think how you'd feel if it was your neighbours and friends stuck in the middle of it, and saw folks looking to score political points over it, branding it the result of the kind of people living on your road etc.

What an utterly bizarre comment, dear me

Not commenting on this incident given what has been said but with the exception of a few hot spots, there are many worse places than Coventry

Resorting to winding people up over something like this feels like a new low for you. I'm not going to bite.

If you’d actually read the thread you would see I’m not on the wind up and have actually been affected by this. Let’s leave it here.

I spent many of my formative years on Newcombe Rd. Three of my best mates lived there and another’s family had the shop that used to be opposite the butchers there.
Seemingly these things can happen anywhere.

I am, a close relative of my best friend is not so, I will elaborate further once I have any details.

He is stable as of now.

Found out who this is over the weekend and a guy I’ve known for a 30 years.

Let's just say he took a different direction in life but back in the day a very nice lad.

Real shame.
