PHILADELPHIA - Philadelphia Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw is responding to the sharp increase in carjackings in the city since 2020 as the department is sharing tips and warning signs to help keep residents safe.

Outlaw shared a message on the department's social media pages Wednesday night saying there was no single issue more important to her and the department than "fighting the surge of violent crime that continues to plague our city."She goes on to call the 'onslaught' of violence 'unacceptable' and says the department remains committed to slowing those trends. "One of the more disturbing trends that we have seen in Philadelphia is the startling increase in the number of carjackings – the taking of a vehicle by force or fear - that have been experienced over the past two years," Outlaw wrote.

Philadelphia police say 757 carjackings were reported in the city in 2021 - and the staggering spike has continued into 2022.

The department is now sharing safety tips, details on hotspots, and information on what victims should do.According to the post, there were 757 reported carjackings in Philadelphia in 2021 – an increase of 34% over 2020.

Bank of Canada holds interest rates amid surging inflation

Bank of Canada kept its trendsetting interest rate at rock-bottom levels on Wednesday, holding off on planned increases aimed at controlling surging inflation.The central bank’s overnight rate remains at 0.25 per cent, a rate it adopted in a drastic drop in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic.The move is in keeping with the signal from the Bank of Canada late last year that it would begin to hike interest rates toward the middle of 2022.
