Sheriff blames crime increase on MAX line

Clackamas County Sheriff's observations are confirmed here in Salem as the number of criminals roaming through the neighborhoods have also declined with the reduction of Transit Bus services.

Each service cut delivered a reduction in prowlers and closing the line was a good thing.

Today, the only trespassers we see are local kids looking for shortcuts to the mini-market and the only problem with that is the fat ones can damage your fence.
