NORFOLK, Va. — UPDATE: The Virginia Beach Police Department (VBPD) said it arrested 44 people facing various charges in a two-day "warrant sweep" earlier this month.
The operation happened on Nov. 9 and 10 and involved the police department and the Virginia Beach Sheriff's Office.
Authorities served 84 warrants involving 39 felony and 37 misdemeanor charges, six court summonses and two protective warrants, according to VBPD.
The operation sought to find and arrest people on outstanding warrants, develop leads on those not located and find out if those people were involved in other crimes, VBPD said.
VBPD didn't list all of the people arrested nor the charges they face. The department told 13News Now it couldn't provide a full list due to ongoing investigations associated with many of those arrested.
The department said some of its arrests were for crimes in other cities, including:
- Newport News man Derrick Ellis, 22, was charged with two counts of attempted murder and possession of a firearm by a felon.
- Chesapeake man Ty'Nique Smallwood, 22, was charged with possession of cocaine, possession of a firearm and contempt of court.
- Hampton man Devonte Howard, 29, was charged with attempted robbery and use of a firearm.
- Norfolk man Marco Hicks, 30, was charged with second-degree murder and the use of a firearm.
