Det. Tim Cassidy said earlier this that the town does not see a lot change in the types of crimes committed, year in, year out.
"We're usually pretty consistent year to year with the types of crimes we see here in Swampscott," explained Swampscott Detective Sergeant Tim Cassidy. "With the economy the way it has been, I'd expect to see that theft crimes and shoplifting might be up, but otherwise most categories would be fairly constant."
