Salem police report eight larcenies, one burglary, one motor vehicle theft
We've just updated our Roanoke Valley crime map with the latest offenses from Salem and Roanoke County -- and Roanoke, as well. The data includes offenses through Nov. 23. We'll update it again later this week when we get a new batch of data.
For the week of Nov. 16-23, Salem police reported eight larcenies, one burglary and one motor vehicle theft.
In western Roanoke County, police have reported two larcenies during that time.
Also, the Salem Police Department provides more detailed information than other localities -- so in addition to the Roanoke Valley crime map, we have a more detailed Salem crime map you can search, as well.
Follow the links above and you can see where they were and what they were. Our data delivery editor, Matt Chittum, has more information how you can use the searchable crime maps. A special bonus this week: We've not only updated the Salem crime database with the most recent crimes, we've extended it backwards as well. Matt explains more here. Who would have guessed there were more than 500 felonies in Salem for the year?
