There were 14 burglaries during that time, and though only one arrest has been made so far, Tomlin said that arrest cleared nine of the burglaries. Of the 10 robberies, four involved a gun. Arrests have been made in two of the armed robberies.

The new crime plan will include more tactical unit and more bike patrols.
