Belle Island Assault

The official crime sheets have been quiet for Oregon Hill, but people should still be careful.

The Times Dispatch has breaking news of a group of teens who reportedly assaulted several people on Belle Island this morning.

Members of a group of about 10 to 12 youths threw rocks at or punched at least five victims and robbed one victim of a cell phone, police said.
Officers and a K-9 unit responded to the scene about 9 a.m. and tried to locate the suspects, who are believed to be between 14 and 18 years old. Police think the group left Belle Isle by walking over the dry rocks toward Riverside Drive.

Note: I am seeing a police blotter that reports this assault as having happened yesterday, Sunday.
