In a troubling resurgence of violent crime in North Tallinn, residents report being assaulted and robbed in broad daylight, echoing fears of the chaotic 'wild 90s'. A 37-year-old woman named Jekaterina shared her harrowing experiences of being attacked multiple times, during which her glasses and food bag were stolen. More alarmingly, she has received direct threats, including one that specifically warned her, "We know what your mother looks like. We will break her legs." Another threat reportedly indicated intentions to burn down the apartments belonging to another victim, Tatjana.

Despite Jekaterina having filed seven reports with the police regarding her ongoing harassment and threats to her life, she claims that no action has been taken against the perpetrators. The situation has left residents feeling vulnerable and fearful, calling into question the effectiveness of local law enforcement in dealing with rising violence. This sense of insecurity among the population parallels sentiments from the violent period of the 90s in Estonia, when crime was rife and law enforcement struggled to maintain order.

The community's response to this violence, particularly given the historical context of crime in the 1990s, underscores the need for renewed attention from authorities to ensure public safety. As the report anticipates coverage of the troubling events in North Tallinn, concerns about how such violence could escalate further adds to the urgency of addressing these issues effectively. Residents are hoping for stronger police intervention to restore a sense of security in their neighborhoods.
