Violent crime up in West Des Moines

Police say the reason behind the spike in violent crime in West Des Moines could be the city's growing population. With that, has come an increase in the number of bars. The total number of crimes dipped slightly in 2010, but the number of rapes, robberies and aggravated assaults all increased. More than half of those involved alcohol. West Des Moines police are working with bars to curb the problem.
