“The NBPD wants to urge those who are meeting individuals for transactions of items purchased or sold that were negotiated either through phone, text, email, or social media sites like Facebook or Craigslist to use extreme caution and care when doing so.
The New Bedford Police Department does have a “Safe Zone” at Police Headquarters (located at 871 Rockdale Avenue) where transactions by private parties can be made in a safe and secure environment. Those engaging in transactions can simply pull up to the entrance area of Headquarters and make the transactions.
If you choose not to make the transactions here, please consider using a public place where there are several people around to avoid dangerous encounters.”-City of New Bedford Police Department.
