Just before 11 am, Portsmouth Police officers assisted CPS workers in removing children from a 17th Street home. They were able to remove the children without incident.
Officers once again came to the aid of CPS workers at 2:30 pm. Workers were attempting to pick up children from a Vermont Avenue home, but no one would answer the door.
When officers arrived on the scene, they were able to retrieve the children without issue.
Out in the Road
Police responded to a report of a woman walking in the street in the 3000 block of Gallia. When officers spoke to her, she claimed walking on the sidewalks ruined her shoes.
A Custus Steet caller contacted police to report a child playing in the street with a wheelchair. She further advised she took a picture of the child, and he wasn’t happy about it. By the time deputies arrived on the scene, the children had left the area. An officer looked around but didn’t see the kids.
