No Citations Issued During Spring Break Curfew Enforcement

The nighttime curfew is intended to prevent crime and keep minors safe.

Police were on the lookout during spring break for kids who were out after curfew but no citations were issued.

Police spokeswoman Kathy Lowe said the curfew is enforced to keep kids safe throughout their vacation and was in response to a recent increase in theft-related crimes committed throughout the city during nighttime hours by juveniles.

"No arrests or citations were issued during the curfew enforcement period," she said.

The nighttime curfew prohibits minors from loitering in public streets, alleys and other public places between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. The curfew is also intended to keep kids from becoming crime victims themselves.
