CRIME WAVE SWEEPS BRITAIN - Gerhard O Marx - August 1965

Gerhard O Marx

Gang-style bonk raids, murders without motive, sudden violence - all this in dignified Britain. Why this sudden upsurge in crime? London. An unparalleled wave of violence and shootings has brought widespread fear to Britain. In a recent two-week period London witnessed five armed raids on banks, a number of brutal murders by teen-age gangs, and several vicious assaults on helpless victims. Barely a day has passed without a murder or a gang-style bank raid perpetrated. Early this year, Scotland Yard's crime chief called a meeting of top law enforcing officials. He then made a dramatic appeal to the public for help. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
