Healy Announces new curfews for Jersey City

Stores in designated areas -- except for pharmacies and bars -- must now be closed between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m.
Violators could face fines of up to $1,250 and the possibility of up to 90 days in jail.
The measure, which took effect Saturday night, is part of an effort to curb violent crime at nighttime gathering spots. It was formally passed last fall and supersedes a curfew law passed in 1987 that had been enforced sporadically.
Businesses in a 135-block area are affected by the curfew, NewsChannel 4 reported.
