So far in 1981, 203 arrests have been made, and the toll continues to mount. Thefts are the biggest problem facing Nephi at this time, Young says. In 1979, only 46 thefts were reported, while up until the end of August in 1981, 71 thefts had been reported. Burglaries, while continuing, have been reduced significantly, Young says, chiefly because of two reasons.
