A California town has revealed the shocking number of teens busted after the Central Valley city announced a nighttime curfew for kids following a string of crimes. ABC 30<\/p>\n

Officers conducted hundreds of arrests against violators, including the safe return of 228 juveniles to their parents\/guardians during the curfew crackdown designed to keep kids in the city safe during the late-night hours.<\/p>\n

In addition to the kids under 18 who were returned home, the department said 228 parents are now educated on curfew laws.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn regards to the juvenile contacts made, the safety of the juveniles contacted was the priority for our officers and not a single administrative citation was issued,\u201d the department told The California Post.<\/p>\n

The crackdown was enforced every night from 10:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. for kids under 18. ABC 30<\/p>\n

\u201cThe juveniles were simply returned to their parents\/guardians, and the parents were educated on the municipal code relating to curfew. \u201c<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are grateful for the cooperation of the parents, and that all the juveniles contacted were safely returned to their parents instead of potentially becoming victims of a crime.\u201d<\/p>\n

Officers responded to the 100 block of South Peach Avenue around 6 am for a report of a teen suffering from a stab wound to the chest. The teen was transported to a local hospital and is currently listed in stable condition, PD said.<\/p>\n

A 17-year-old male was later arrested in connection with the crime.<\/p>\n

The curfew crackdown came on the same day a 17-year-old boy was hospitalized after being stabbed in Fresno, ABC30<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n

Investigators previously said the teen and his brother, who was found hiding in a nearby carport, have been uncooperative with authorities, leaving detectives with few details about what led to the attack. <\/p>\n

No arrests have been made as the investigation remains ongoing, per PD.<\/p>\n

The two-week operation in Fresno also resulted in more than 560 arrests, those included 260 felony arrests and 306 misdemeanors. <\/p>\n

PD said they also arrested 87 gang members and 38 firearms were seized. Hundreds of parole and probation searches were conducted during the operation which netted 17 parole and 38 probation arrests.<\/p>\n

And a combined 3,000 traffic and pedestrian stops, resulted in officers handing out nearly 1,000 citations to violators.<\/p>\n

\u201cThanks to proactive efforts, homicides leveled off and shootings dropped, contributing to a 10% year\u2011to\u2011date reduction,\u201d the department said in a post on social media<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A California town has revealed the shocking number of teens busted after the Central Valley city announced a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":374084,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[7,723,112,114,113,4182,5931,2036,3586],"class_list":["post-374083","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-fresno","tag-california","tag-crime","tag-fresno","tag-fresno-headlines","tag-fresno-news","tag-metro","tag-summer","tag-teens","tag-us-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/374083","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=374083"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/374083\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/374084"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=374083"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=374083"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=374083"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
