How’s Van, Texas Crime?
Normally, the city of Van is very quiet, other than the irritating 4:56 A.M. exhaust manifold leak with the peddle to the metal that seems to occur every Saturday morning. Grrr… However, we get along pretty nicely, but there have been major drug seizures and violent crimes in the recent and not so recent past. Hopefully Van Police and the Van Zandt County Sheriff’s Office focus more on the realm of that. We don’t need violence or drug dealers.
