This is a widespread problem that’s impacting car owners all over the city however it’s the frequency of these incidents that’s of most concern.

We understand up to five cars are being stolen and set alight every week in Orange.

It’s been heartening to hear about a group, made up largely women, who have banded together to try and tackle crime rates in the city.

We have every reason to support this grass-roots organisation who are trying to make a difference to our community so it’s disheartening to hear so-called keyboard warriors calling these folk naive or misguided.

Let’s support these good people who are so community-minded that they’ve decided to act rather than simply whinge.

thanks
