San Leandro curfew to remain for rest of the week
SAN LEANDRO (BCN)
The city of San Leandro said a mandatory curfew will remain in effect for a week after being put in place Sunday because of civil unrest and looting over the killing of a black man by Minneapolis police last week.
Residents are asked to stay inside each evening from 6 p.m. until 5 a.m. the following day until at least June 8 unless the order is rescinded sooner.
Exceptions to the curfew are first responders, health care providers, people seeing urgent medical care, people going to and from work, people who are unsheltered, and members of the media, police said.
San Leandro police said several dozen businesses in their city were impacted by looting Sunday night.
Police encourage businesses to take inventory of losses prior to calling the Police Department or filing a report online.
People can call the San Leandro police dispatch line at (510) 577-2730, ext. 1, and should only call 911 if there is an emergency.
