Crime Rise in Bowie Outpaces Pr. George’s Increase
Serious crime in Bowie rose almost 16 percent for the first half of the year, compared to the same period last year, according to data released by the Bowie Office of Public Safety.
The increase was less than the 22 percent rise in serious crimes for Prince George’s County’s Police District 2, which includes Bowie, but far outpaced a 6 percent rise for the county as a whole.
