Violent crime accounts for 19% of all crime in Preston. The latest figures taken in 2006 showed that Tulketh was not badly affected by this problem in comparison with other wards in Preston.
However on Friday 24th October 2008 three men, one of whom was armed with a knife, raided a Betfred bookmakers on Blackpool Road, Tulketh. http://www.prestoncitizen.co.uk/news/3791981.Preston_betting_shop_in_cash_raid/
Has this incident made the community in Tulketh worry for their safety? Is Tulketh affected by violent crime more than in 2006?

So aside from the knife crime epidemic which we've seen rising all over the UK, what other types of violent crimes affect Tulketh?
Serious incidents are few and far between, as Tulketh is a relatively small area of Preston. There was another incident in May 2006, when an armed robbery took place in Lloyds TSB bank in the area http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/lancashire/4960164.stm
