Week in Review: Burglaries, Shots Fired, and Ongoing Investigations in Virginia Beach

Published 6 months ago
Description
Virginia Beach Police Department reports that over the previous week, officers responded to several key incidents across the city. In the Oceanfront district on Friday, officers were called to a commercial burglary at a retail business where property was allegedly stolen overnight. The incident remains under investigation. On Sunday, in the Thalia neighborhood near I-264 and Independence Boulevard, patrol units responded to reports of shots fired. Officers located shell casings but did not discover any injured parties or suspects at the scene, and the case number has not been provided at this time. The investigation is ongoing.

In the Princess Anne Plaza area, an alleged vehicle theft was reported early Thursday morning. The vehicle was later recovered in the Lake James vicinity. No arrests have yet been made. Saturday evening in the Aragona Village neighborhood, police received reports of a fight in progress. Upon arrival, officers determined that an alleged assault had taken place. The victim did not require medical transport. The suspect fled prior to police arrival, and officers request anyone with information to contact the Crime Solvers tip line.

Also, in the Bayside area on Wednesday, officers responded to a reported strong-arm robbery in a public parking lot. The victim reported that a male suspect approached and allegedly took personal property by force before fleeing on foot. Virginia Beach Police are seeking public assistance to identify the suspect, described as a Black male, approximately 6 feet tall, medium build, wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt and black pants, last seen running north on Baxter Road. Anyone with information is encouraged to call the department.

Throughout the week, the Detective Bureau initiated investigations into two alleged residential burglaries in the Kempsville and Great Neck neighborhoods. Both incidents involve forced entry into homes during daytime hours while the occupants were away. Jewelry and electronics were reportedly taken. As of now, both cases are active with no arrests reported.

In the Salem Woods area on Monday, officers conducted a traffic stop which resulted in the arrest of an adult male on outstanding warrants unrelated to the stop. The subject was transported to the Virginia Beach correctional facility. In the Seatack district, police received reports of vandalism to several parked vehicles. No suspect information is available, and the matter is under active review.

No significant updates have been reported in ongoing cases relating to narcotics in the Green Run area, though patrols have increased in response to community concerns.

Significant trends this week include a pattern of alleged property-related offenses—especially burglary and thefts from vehicles—in several central neighborhoods, as well as isolated reports of violent incidents that appear unrelated.

Listeners with any information that may assist ongoing investigations are encouraged to contact Virginia Beach Crime Solvers at 1-888-LOCK-U-UP or call the department’s non-emergency line.
