Police report three rapes, seven burglaries in and around Salem
We've just updated our Roanoke Valley crime map with the latest offenses from Salem and Roanoke County -- and Roanoke, as well. This batch covers about three weeks.
From Sept. 28 to Oct. 19, police reported two rapes, six burglaries, two aggravated assaults and 15 larcenies in Salem.
Meanwhile, between Sept. 25 and Oct. 10, Roanoke County police reported one rape, one burglary, one motor vehicle theft and four larcenies in western Roanoke County.
In all, that's three rapes and seven burglaries in and around Salem during that time.
You can see a map of where those incidents took place in Salem or western Roanoke County - or you can search the map yourself, by location, by offense or by date.
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.
