"People in Londonderry may turn to violent crime because of the credit crunch, a police officer who works with the victims of armed robbery has said. There have been 22 armed robberies in Derry so this year, compared to 19 in the whole of 2007. On Tuesday, cash, cigarettes and Derry City match tickets were taken during an armed robbery in the Bogside."
