I rely on local news outlets and police department websites to provide me with up-to-date crime reports, from petty thefts to more serious incidents.

The Southeast Community

The Newport News Police call the lower East End of Newport News the red zone meaning that this area that is mostly populated by people of color is a high crime area.


I am often entertained by some of the crime stories that I hear and read from this area as well as horrified by the brutality and violence people inflict on each other in this area.
