Charlotte targets crime hotspots with nuisance abatement cases
City considers nuisance abatement for Charlotte crime hotspots By David Hodges | December 14, 2020 at 4:54 PM EST - Updated December 14 at 6:38 PM
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WBTV) - A deluge of crime in some areas of the Queen City is causing some city councilmembers to pull out every trick in the government tool bag to end it. The city is considering brining nuisance abatement cases against some property owners, what City Attorney Patrick Baker called a tool of âlast resort.â
âIf the citizens are calling over and over again at one particular property, then we have to hold that property owner accountable for whatâs happening in this community,â Councilman Malcolm Graham told WBTV.
