The municipal law prohibits unaccompanied minors under age 18 from traveling more than 100 yards from their home between the overnight hours of 10 p.m. and 6 a.m., according to the Newark Department of Public Safety.

Any juvenile found to be in violation of the ordinance will be issued a written warning that will be kept on file with Newark police for six months. A second infraction during that period will result in the arrest of the juvenile. If within six months from the second infraction the juvenile is found in violation of the ordinance, the juvenile and the parent or guardian will be summonsed to appear in court before a judge.
