Police in Newport News say 27 fugitives are now off the streets.
A city-wide fugitive sweep, dubbed "Operation Warrant and Vehicle Interdiction," began last Thursday and targeted offenders with outstanding warrants for various crimes.
Combined, the 27 suspects face more than 75 charges, including charges of grand larceny, malicious wounding, credit card larceny and fraud, and numerous drug charges.
Police Chief Steve Drew said more of these fugitive sweeps are planned for the future.
