US: Authorities to impose nightly curfew in South Beach, Miami Beach, Florida, between March 24-28

Event

Authorities in Miami Beach, Florida, will impose a nightly curfew in the South Beach area between March 25-28. The purpose of the action is to reduce the risk of violence and crime during Spring Break-related festivities. The curfew will be in effect between 00:01-06:00 starting Friday, March 25, and ending on Monday, March 28. The measure will affect most of the South Beach neighborhood, from 23rd Street in the north to South Pointe Drive in the south.
