• $2M bond set for 'Tony Hawk,' accused of being 'Top Shark' in Nawf Way racketeering case (cw34.com) — A Belle Glade man nicknamed “Tony Hawk” is being held on a $2 million bond in a sweeping racketeering case targeting the alleged Nawf Way gang, which investigators say operated out of Belle Glade. Authorities link the group to dozens of violent incidents and describe years of investigations, raids, and jail-related offenses that they argue underpin a broader effort to dismantle gang activity in the Glades. 
• Wellington tops Palm Beach County rent costs, while Belle Glade offers cheapest (wptv.com) — Belle Glade currently has the lowest fair-market rents in Palm Beach County, with comparable units averaging about $890 a month versus nearly $2,850 in Wellington.
