NEWS RELEASE
On October 2, 2019 at approximately 9pm a robbery was reported in the 1200-block of Stuart St. A male victim was assaulted by multiple suspects and an undisclosed amount of money was stolen. The victim was subsequently transported to Augusta Health to be treated for non-life-threatening injuries.
Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call either the Staunton Police Department at 540.332.3842 or Crimestoppers at 1.800.322.2017.
We live in the area and this is very unsettling. We always think our little neighborhood is so safe, hope the victim is doing okay. Keep us updated please!
Thanks for posting . I’m sure your detectives will solve and uphold the law
Let me add that a month ago I had a situation at 3:30 am. Someone was in my back yard trying to get in. Then went around to front. I put light on and got pics while on the phone but with 911. I was also armed with s very angry dog. I gave clear warning that if a breach occurred he would be shot. SPD was great with 4 cars arriving. It turned out to be my next door neighbor totally intoxicated. What is bad on my part is that at night we go to bed totally unprepared for a fire or intruder. I have also taken stock of things around my property and house to better offer safety for both me and first responders. So think about ways to fortify your doors. Don't put phone on airplane mode at night and other things that people personally affect you. Just be vigilant especially if you have to go outside at night.
I believe we do need more info from police. Is this a gang getting into the neighborhood. Kids, adults. This allegedly happened where Peck and Stewart Converge.
Prayers
Well if we knew what these suspects looked like that would help allot!!
if this is another senior/ homeless hit... then... we might need to start looking out for them

The Staunton Police Department received multiple calls for service yesterday morning from citizens concerned for the well-being of a dog being pulled in a bicycle trailer. Our animal control officers located the bicyclist and his dog, Diva, and verified that the animal was safe but in need of a bath and some medicine. The owner of the Staunton Dog Wash came in on her day off and gave Diva a free bath, and staff at the Staunton Veterinary Clinic donated some needed medication. Thank you to everyone in the community that came together to assist us!
We also learned that the bicyclist, Flynn Donoho, has biked about 50,000 miles to raise awareness for cancer research and to support the American Cancer Society.
Wow I wish people were more concerned about the panhandlers standing on the corners with their dogs making them sit and lay in very hot temperatures in the dead of Summer .... or all the transients who have to have one or two dogs that walk with them ....rather than being concerned about a dog being pulled on a cart.
Saw him at walmart today!! He gave away something of his to another homeless guy. Made my heart so happy to see that he is still giving even when he doesn’t have much.
I understand the dog was in need of some help ,did anyone offer the gentleman a bath and meal , please people help man and dog
I personally love the veterinarians at the Staunton Veterinary Clinic. They go above and beyond the call of duty for animals.
I had the pleasure of talking to this man and Diva. They are both very sweet. I told him about our beautiful park and he asked if there was a dog park. I said yes and he plans on biking there. He needs his bike repaired. I gave hime some money but not nearly enough to fix it. I hope someone can help him more.
Thank you to all that helped! We love Pat at Staunton Dog wash! She is always there for dogs in need! Including Bailey!
Great work Officer Ayers! Way to get the entire community involved to help this pup and her dad!
Thank you to the Staunton Dog Wash and the Staunton Police Department for helping this man and his dog that is biking to make people aware of this dreaded disease. Praying they will have a safe journey where ever they go ♥️💜✝️🙏👏👏
Thanks for taking care of the dog 🐕
Big shout out to Staunton Veterinarian Clinic and Staunton Dog Wash! Thank you for your services to this fella.
That is such bs. That dog looks more well taken care of, then half the dogs of rich clients that come into my shop. Ppl have nothing better to do.

Glad to see the dog was riding today and not being "walked" as the man was riding his bike in Elkton just the other day.
Such an awesome story of caring for the man and his best friend!! He is doing such an admirable thing to bring awareness to this dreaded disease that has taken so many way to soon! Prayers for them both as they continue their journey🙏🙏 A special thanks to the people of Staunton who brought awareness to the Staunton Police Department and to the wonderful people at Staunton Veterinary Clinic and Staunton Dog Wash for offering your loving care to this special dog who is always by his daddy’s side.. such a very special bond these two have! God Bless You All!!!
Great job to everyone that went the extra mile!!! Extra Thanks to Staunton Dog Wash, Staunton PD and Staunton Veterinary Clinic!
I met this man at Walmart and he had NOTHING BUT GREAT things to say about Staunton PD!!! He said that he had no idea they would nice to him much less go the "extra mile" for him! GREAT JOB Staunton PD! I always hear people complaining it was nice to hear him tell anyone that would listen how nice you treated him! <3
This is so very kind and warms my heart to see love and kindness given to others.
That’s great! Now hopefully he’ll be as dedicated to his dog as he is to cycle to research! 🤦🏻♂️
I love it when the community comes together to take on a task, especially for a furry friend.
I love seeing this kind of community involvement! We need more of this in the news 🙂
Saw him at Walmart this morning! Dr Mims at Staunton Vet Clinic is awesome!
Pat at Staunton Dog Wash is amazing, as is Dr. Mims at Staunton Veterinary Clinic, and Staunton PD!

Thank you SPD Awesome job Thank you for keeping our children safe
I have been warning people about Bubba Accord and I still have the messages where I told him that I knew that he was trying to mess with young girls and he hurried and blocked me. Thank you Staunton PD!!!!!!
The sad truth, a man with possession of marijuana is going to do a longer sentence then these chesters. Hell even a person with a driving offense is going to do longer.
Sex offense should be mandatory death penalty. No plea deals. No reduced charges.
isn't amazing how many comments mention that individuals knew that these guys were likely sexual predators? some even reported it, with no result? so, great job busting these guys online SPD. wonder how many kids they molested in the community since they were first reported and when they were arrested in this sting. i wonder how many other well known sexual predators are careful enough to stay offline or are not tech savvy enough to use the internet to lure in victims. there is a guy at my parents church that no one trusts alone with young girls. aint that some crap?
Best thing can happen to these looser s is to not spend our tax dollars and just put em to sleep!!
Reported one of these guys who already has a prior history of this because he was at a store asking about my child in Rockingham County! They did NOTHING! Thank you for protecting our children!
May they rot in prison
Make sure you throw away the key after you lock them up. Keep up the Awesome work!!!!!!!!
Thank you Staunton PD for protecting our kids!
Thank you all! I can't imagine the difficult process for the PD to go thru dealing with people who want to exploit children. Thank you for making children safer. We appreciate you!!!
Thank you for working to keep our communities & children safe. I hope these MONSTERS are held accountable for their crimes.
Thanks SPD - stay safe while trying to keep our children safe.
People wake up they know just what to say to make your child feel special. These people are dangerous please pay attention to what your children are doing online. I know most parents don’t have the skills of there kids but get someone who does. A friend a family member anyone who can help you keep track.
So many sicko’s in the world!! Thanks Staunton PD for keeping our children and grandchildren safe!!!
They need to be roped to a tree,and there grown parts tide to top of the tree
With all the technology these days do they think they’re not going to get caught
You never know! Known one of these guys for 30 years!
Great job Blue🤘🏼

The male approached a residence in Staunton, displayed a silver badge and claimed that the citizen’s account had “fraud activity” and that police would be responding if he was not given money. The male left the area after the citizen declined to speak with him further.
Social Security Administration employees and investigators will never go door to door requesting money or any form of payment. As a reminder, law enforcement will never contact you by phone to request money in lieu of arrest either.

Between October 12 and 20, 2018, several hundred bronze and copper vases were stolen from the Oak Lawn Mausoleum and Memory Gardens on Shutterlee Mill Rd. A photograph of a similar style vase is below.
The vases were not taken from actual grave sites but were damaged items removed and replaced. The vases were stored in a separate section of the cemetery.
Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to call either the Staunton Police Department at 540.332.3842 or Crimestoppers at 1.800.322.2017.
My Father’s, Grandparents and Aunt’and Uncles grave sites are there and I've gone many times to find flowers and wresths removed or stolen & very unkempt grounds! Repeated complaints to the Office management has gone and fallen on deaf ears!! Really? You have our money but do nothing to keep this place scared and holy! Shame on you!!
Stealing from the dead....lowest life forms do that 🙁
Seams like a inside job if they knew where the old scraps where stored at.
My opinion anyone who steals, (especially off a grave site) the good Lord Should Send a Lightening Bolt Roght Down upon them !!!!! Bam
OMG are people Evil!!!!
They didn’t want the ones at the grave sites as most have been replaced by cheaper models! My Mom paid thousands for headstone and heavy metal vase but for some reason has been replaced with some cheap plastic. They won’t talk to me regarding vase and Mom can’t as she has dementia.
There is a special place for people who would do something like this, and it's not Heaven!
What is wrong with people!!! They will have to answer for this one day!!! Oak Lawn really needs some kind of security. Not the first time something like this has happened. 😡
I work at one of the local scrap yards ... we have been notified!! My grand parents are buried there also ... so sad for someone to stoop so Low!!! 😢😢
They are taking them for scrap and getting money.
It literally says on the post that they weren't taken from actual graves. And still people are freaking out over exactly that. Come on people.
I hope whoever did this burns in HELL 🔥!!
I will put up $100.00 for the arrest and Conviction of the thief or thieves, and challenge every other community member to match this . Make these so hot nobody in 30 states will want to touch them
WOW okay. Dont worry guys, call oaklawn. They weren't taken from actual graves but up by the maintenance area there was a pile of broken and damaged vases that had been stolen. Not off the actual graves (according to them but now im paranoid so Im still checking.). Staunton PD you REALLY need to make that clear, you're worrying families out here that our deceased loved ones' burial sites had been robbed. Please clear that up in your post.
What in the world would you do with them? They are not gold or silver.
Check the local scrapyards
Need to go by and check in my Familys!!!! Prayers for that or those theives!!
Very sad world we live in these days!!!
People do the most evil things and I don’t get it😲
How can people steal from a cemetary?
WTW,are they thinking.
I have family there, god help you, if you piece of crap stole from them. Your day will come,
What monstrosity when will it end

SCAM ALERT
We have received reports of a new scam involving Medicare cards. Medicare recently mailed new paper cards with a unique member ID number to enrollees. Previous cards used the individual's social security number. The purpose of this update was to prevent identity fraud.
Scammers have been calling Medicare recipients attempting to obtain personal information by asking for the old ID number (the member’s social security number) and claiming this information is needed to “activate” the new card. However, Medicare will be sending out the new cards automatically. They advise that members should destroy their old cards upon receipt of the new card and never provide personally identifying information over the phone.
If you ever have questions about telephone or internet scams please contact the Staunton Police Department at 540.332.3842. For further information about this particular scam please visit: www.medicare.gov/forms-help-and-resources/your-medicare-card.html
