Incidents reported in Virginia Beach over the past week include an alleged robbery near the London Bridge area early Tuesday morning.

No injuries were reported, and the suspect fled before officers arrived. The case remains under investigation.
Later that day, officers responded to an alleged burglary in the vicinity of Lynnhaven Parkway and Holland Road. Police say entry appeared to have been forced into a residential unit, and several electronic items were reported missing. Forensic teams processed the scene, and detectives are seeking public assistance identifying a male suspect described as approximately six feet tall, wearing a dark hoodie and jeans. This investigation is ongoing, and tips are requested.
On Wednesday evening, officers arrested two individuals following an alleged assault outside a retail center near Birdneck Road. Witnesses told WTKR News 3 that an altercation escalated, resulting in minor injuries to one party. Both subjects were charged with misdemeanor assault and released pending further proceedings.
Thursday afternoon saw a reported motor vehicle theft in the vicinity of Kempsville Road and Indian River Road. Responding officers interviewed witnesses who reported seeing a late-model SUV being driven erratically before leaving the area. The vehicle was recovered hours later in Chesapeake. At this time, the suspect is unidentified, and the case remains under investigation.
Virginia Beach police responded to the Oceanfront late Thursday night after an alleged disorderly conduct incident at a beachfront business. According to eyewitnesses and business staff, a group of individuals became unruly and were eventually escorted from the premises. No injuries or arrests were reported, and police closed the case after mediation at the scene.
A fraud investigation was opened Friday in the Town Center area, where an individual reported unauthorized financial transactions linked to their credit account. Police are working with the affected business to obtain surveillance footage, and the investigation is ongoing. Authorities request that anyone with additional information come forward.
Late Friday night, in the Aragona neighborhood, officers responded to reports of shots fired. Police located shell casings at the scene but found no victims or property damage. Interviews with residents are ongoing, and detectives urge anyone with information to contact authorities.
