00:00You should be able to go shopping, you should be able to, I don't have, I shouldn't have to say
00:04okay, it's six o'clock, Friday night, I want to go down to Coles and get some groceries.
00:09Do I go or do I not go?
00:11It's Bagash Risabe Sachi from the Canberra Times
00:13and today I'm asking people in the area if they feel safe in public.
00:19Do you feel safe walking around at night in Dugganoi?
00:23No, I don't.
00:25So this is what happened outside my work yesterday.
00:28What's happening in this video?
00:29So it was actually a lady walking past with a baseball bat and a balaclava on.
00:35This is not the first time that she's been to the shops.
00:38Relatively safe.
00:40Transport's fine.
00:42Walking home at night depends.
00:43Sometimes yes, sometimes no.
00:45Youth crime's definitely a big concern.
00:46I've been seeing the police a lot more often down at this place.
00:49This is not a safe space.
00:51I am not alone, not only within this centre but in many, many more centres.
00:56Older generation are actually avoiding places like theirs because they'll be sitting having
01:00a cup of coffee and there's a bunch of teenagers steal stuff and nothing will be done.
01:03Or there's someone screaming or riding their bike through the mall and they just feel unsafe.
01:09They're not coming in.
01:10I do feel safe but it's just a lot of teens running around, running amok, making others
01:16feel unsafe, intimidating the public.
01:20It's not all kids.
01:21I don't think it's fair that all kids are put into one bucket.
01:25They're good at their job but I would like to see more police presence around here.
01:30I understand these things happen and police can't be present with all these things around
01:34but it just seems to be there's no sort of ride-byes or, you know, checking the suburb out.
01:40Particularly here and I believe that's quite a common occurrence.
01:44They try to steal alcohol from the shop.
