Published 1 year, 1 month ago
Description
The Virginia Beach Police Department reported several incidents over the past week. On Monday evening, officers responded to a robbery at a convenience store near the intersection of Pacific Avenue and 17th Street. The suspect allegedly brandished a weapon and demanded cash before fleeing on foot. No injuries were reported and the case remains under investigation.
Tuesday afternoon, police were called to the Kempsville area for reports of vehicle break-ins. Multiple cars in a shopping center parking lot had windows smashed and valuables stolen. Detectives are reviewing surveillance footage and ask anyone with information to contact the non-emergency line.
A residential burglary was reported Wednesday morning in the Bayside neighborhood. The homeowner returned to find a rear window forced open and several electronic items missing. Crime scene technicians processed the home for evidence.
On Thursday, officers arrested a suspect in connection with a series of package thefts from front porches in the Green Run area. The alleged thief was identified through doorbell camera footage provided by residents.
Friday evening saw a stabbing incident outside a bar on Atlantic Avenue at the Oceanfront. The victim was transported to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Detectives interviewed witnesses and are working to identify a suspect.
Over the weekend, police conducted increased patrols and DUI checkpoints across the city. Several arrests were made for driving under the influence and other traffic violations.
The department also responded to numerous noise complaints and minor disturbances, particularly in the resort area as spring break crowds arrived.
Detectives continue to investigate an armed robbery that occurred last week at a gas station on Lynnhaven Parkway. They are seeking the public's help in identifying a suspect captured on security cameras.
Overall, property crimes like larcenies and burglaries remained the most commonly reported offenses. The police department reminds residents to lock vehicles, secure valuables, and report any suspicious activity.
