“#Drop in weekly arrests outpaces increase in NYC crime<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

Serious crime spiked across most major categories amid another plunge in arrests last week, NYPD statistics showed Monday \u2014 and sources said the bloodshed would have been even worse if not for the lousy weekend weather.<\/p>\n

And amid a doubling of incidents in the transit system and a more than fourfold skyrocketing of hate crimes, the only bright spots were drops in murders and burglaries.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe rain this weekend saved the city. A lot of people weren\u2019t outside. There were no barbecues,\u201d said a veteran cop with two decades on the job.<\/p>\n

Another veteran cop said that \u201cthe rain and the cold \u2026 kind of drives crime indoors.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut as the weather warms up, that will change,\u201d the cop warned.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe weather will always dictate crime except in the subway.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams \u2014 a leading Democratic contender to succeed outgoing Mayor Bill de Blasio \u2014 warned that the city was \u201cjust days away from the start of the summer, which historically means that we will see a rise in crime \u2014 and we are already suffering from massive increases in violent incidents.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is unacceptable,\u201d said Adams, a former NYPD captain.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery New Yorker deserves to feel safe in our city. Public safety is the key to prosperity.\u201d<\/p>\n

Overall crime complaints increased 15.1 percent during the seven days that ended Sunday, compared to the same period last year, according to official CompStat figures.<\/p>\n

There were spikes in five of the seven major categories of crime, the worst involving grand larcenies, which rose 39 percent, from 472 to 656.<\/p>\n

Robberies also jumped 26.9 percent, from 212 to 269.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, arrests for serious crimes plummeted 20 percent, virtually twice last week\u2019s decline of 10.2 percent.<\/p>\n

Transit crimes surged 105.6 percent, from 18 to 37, and hate crimes multiplied 366.7 percent, from 3 to 14.<\/p>\n

Shootings were up 43.5 percent, from 23 to 33, while the number of people hit by gunfire increased from 24 to 35, or 45.8 percent.<\/p>\n

But those alarming figures actually represented an improvement over the previous week, when the numbers of shootings and victims rose by 72 and 92.6 percent, respectively.<\/p>\n

\u201cWeather is the only thing that will lower shootings \u2014 and even during a dreary, rainy week they still went up 44 percent,\u201d a Brooklyn cop\u00a0said.<\/p>\n

\u201cMaybe we will get real lucky and it will snow this summer.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gun arrests, however, plunged 42.4 percent, from 99 to 57, far outstrip<\/a>ping the previous week\u2019s 24 percent decline.<\/p>\n

In an especially worrisome development, rapes were up 8.7 percent, from 23 to 25, reversing a 15.4 percent decrease a week a week.<\/p>\n

The year-to-date increase in rapes was 2 percent.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, murders declined by more than half, from 13 to six.<\/p>\n

The killings included that of a 37-year-old man who was found fatally stabbed in a Lower East Side skate park early Friday.<\/p>\n

The victim, who was app<\/a>arently killed with a homemade knife discarded nearby, had previously been involved in a January incident during which he attacked a 68-year-old man during a dispute over \u201cpasta sauce,\u201d police sources said.<\/p>\n

Burglaries fell 21.3 percent, continuing a trend that has the category down 15.9 percent since the start of the year.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
