VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. - In a meeting Tuesday night, Virginia Beach city leaders unanimously voted to move funds towards police initiatives, including adding more cameras, to help with public safety in the city s Resort area.
The vote was 11-0.
For nearly 20 years, Galit Beck has been on the Virginia Beach Oceanfront with Bargain Beachwear. But she told News 3 the last few weeks have been tough.
âCustomers and people that were visiting, some of them actually cut their visit early because they didnât feel safe over here. They heard about the shootings, so they cut their vacation early. Thatâs not good for us.â Beck said. âI know some of the employees that donât want to come to work on weekends because theyâre scared.â
