The PittsburghChannel ran a story about mall crime in the region. In it, they cited some alarming trends, which include crimes at Ross Park Mall.
The number of thefts at South Hills Village was 330 -- a 167 percent increase from the period between 2004 and 2006. It was even worse at Ross Park Mall, where police reported 639 cases of theft -- a 255 percent increase.
"Tough times," Ross Township Police Sgt. Bill Barrett explained. "It's an easy crime, a crime of opportunity, and I think maybe sometimes people who wouldn't do that crime find themselves in an opportunity and they take it."

PittsburghLive.com ran an opinion piece today by former Ross Township commissioner Mark Purcell. In it, Purcell is highly critical of the current Ross township board of commissioners who are considering raising taxes.
With many residents living on fixed incomes and West View Water Authority passing on a substantial rate increase to its customers in 2010, it would be unconscionable to increase Ross residents' property taxes at this time.
