Although staffing changes are taking place this week at the New Bedford Police Department's Station 3, the North End station is not closing permanently.
Certain parts of New Bedford have always been a sore spot for retailers and restaurants when it comes to outdoor space but it looks like that may be changing.
A New Bedford man charged with two arsons in the North End earlier this month has now been arrested for seven more fires in the area, closing the book on a frightening time for residents in the affected area.
