The  Lake County Sheriff's Department plans to double the number of officers patrolling Gary streets to battle a spike in homicides this summer.

"It is an escalating problem," Sheriff John Buncich told the Lake County Council, which approved $200,000 in overtime Tuesday to pay for the patrols.

Since July 1, there have been at least 16 homicides in the city, including two overnight Monday. Buncich said the department's forensic team, along with officers on the combined homicide unit, has been working day and night and there is no end in sight to the violence.
