John MacKenzie chats with Councilor Locky Bensted, Representative for Mareeba Shire, about the growing crime crisis in Far North Queensland.
Locky called in because of the community's concern for curbing crime.
Statistics show how much worse per capita some crime is in comparison to Brisbane City, as Cairns and Mareeba are becoming the car theft capitals of Queensland.
Reports from long-term locals state there is a zeitgeist of fear in Cairns, describing crime and anti-social behaviour as the worst it has ever been.
