Is crime in Albany down? To me, it seems as if the only thing going down is the ages of the individuals involved in such heinous acts.

A school in Albany closed on Monday as a precaution after they received online and text threats late last night. Police say other schools were threatened as well.

It started as a welfare check, but now Albany Police are investigating a murder that took place over the weekend on a quiet, residential street in Albany.

Just days removed from the first significant snowstorm here in the Capital Region, we're now being told to brace for a "powerful multi-hazard storm" headed our way.

It seems that at least a few times a day a number pops up on your phone that you don't recognize and it's usually a scam call. Sometimes our smartphones aren't smart enough to filter them or the scammers are getting more creative. The latest phone scam targets people by disguising themselves as the local police.

The dirt bikes were riding illegally, one of the riders was taking video at the time of the chase.

I think we all know by now that it is illegal to leave your car running and unattended in New York state. Section 1210 of the NYS Vehicle and Traffic Law makes it illegal for a driver to leave a vehicle without stopping the engine, locking the ignition, and removing the key from the car. But that doesn't stop a lot of people in the Capital Region from doing just that. Not only could you get a ticket, but it could also be worse.

14-year-old Raghad Azzan has been located in the Town of Guilderland. She is safe and has been returned home to her family. Thank you to everyone who helped spread the word.
