2. Amrit Ocean Resort owners voice concern over lack of city inspections (wptv.com) — Condo owners at the Amrit Ocean Resort on Singer Island are pressing Riviera Beach officials over what they say are poor or missing city inspections that left million‑dollar units with serious plumbing and fire‑safety problems. Residents also complain they are not receiving expected tax breaks, while the City Council has so far taken no action beyond promising an investigation.
   

3. Riviera Beach man arrested for allegedly attempting to meet undercover officer posing as teen (wpbf.com) — A Riviera Beach resident has been placed on in-house arrest after police say he traveled to meet what he believed was a 14-year-old boy at Intracoastal Park in Boynton Beach. Investigators allege he sent explicit messages and images to an undercover officer posing as a teen, leading to multiple felony charges and strict court-ordered limits on his internet and minor contact.
   

4. Congresswoman Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick's criminal trial delayed (palmbeachpost.com) — Riviera Beach residents’ congresswoman, Sheila Cherfilus‑McCormick, has had her federal criminal trial over alleged misuse of COVID‑19 relief funds pushed back to February 2027, even as she faces a pivotal House ethics hearing on April 21.
