Springfield residents speak out about crime

Posted: Updated:

SPRINGFIELD, Vt. (AP) - Residents in Springfield, Vt., say they are outraged about growing crime in their neighborhoods and they have presented a list of possible solutions to improve things.

The Eagle-Times reports the most recent concern was sparked by a shooting on July 9 that resulted in arrest on a charge of attempted murder.

Residents asked police to combat drug use a priority and increase foot patrols. They also asked for greater communication between the school district and the city.

They made their comments Monday at a select board meeting.
