A new curfew is now in effect across Virginia Beach, but it’s different from the most recent curfew implemented in parts of the Oceanfront last weekend.
Virginia Beach curfew now 10 p.m. citywide for minors
City leaders approved changes to the city’s curfew ordinance last month, limiting the curfew for minors from 11 p.m. to 10 p.m. citywide. The change applies to anyone under the age of 18, regardless of where they are in the city.
In addition, an “imminent threat” curfew has been implemented for a portion of the Oceanfront. That curfew runs from 7 p.m. to 5 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays and covers the area from Rudee Loop to 31st Street, stretching from the ocean to Pacific Avenue. The Oceanfront curfew is temporary and is set to remain in place through the last weekend of April.
Virginia Beach Police Chief Paul Neudigate urged parents and guardians to play an active role in ensuring compliance. “I can’t stress enough — parents, guardians — I need your help. I need you to know where your kids are,” he said. “If we don’t get the cooperation we need, you’re going to be inconvenienced. You’re going to have to come take custody of your child.”
