Great work to the police. People are saying these days that kids don't have anything to do. I disagree. They would be off the street if they had chores and work to do. Nobody catered to earlier generations by providing them with entertainment. Most of us were taught respect and responsibility at home first. That is where the seeds of a good citizen are planted. Having electronic gadgets and other amenities handed to you without expectation of any effort on your part does nothing to instill responsibility and appreciation or respect. I don't mean slave labor nor difficult jobs but EVERY child, no matter the age should be taught and expected to DO something, either for the family, their neighbors, or the community in general. I am not blaming these parents either. I am speaking of youth in general.
Thank you ! I still believe this City needs something for these kids to do .
If released, why were they taken in to custody. Just wasted officers time. They know nothing will be done, so they just do not care. Spending a day/night in a cell will teach them a lesson.
SMH these kids need some serious discipline. The government needs to stop interfering with real parents disciplining their kids! It didn’t hurt me to get my butt whipped and it sure isn’t going to hurt my kids or grandkids! There’s a huge difference between a spanking and beating ur kids/grandkids. I can honestly say I thank God my mom and grandparents whipped me cuz it helped make me a better person today to be disciplined.
First thank god and Staunton pd ! After that no thanks to their parents, sorry I was bad as they came as a child . But it’s lifestyles they are imitating. Look and listen to what your kids are watching and listening to and do something about it. It’s not race or age or area specific. It’s lyrics your looking for. I am to scared to bring a child into this world. I’d never sleep... to add defense attorney who gets this case I wish you nothing. Justice system is failing on that end. Gun in hand , guilty, hanging around kid with gun, guilty . No defense lawyers needed
That 16 yr old just lost his mother for all of you with the "parent comments" Yes he was wrong but he's a great kid with a really good heart. He is suffering immensely 🥺 🥺 Furthermore, no one knows the entire story so instead of judging try praying please 🙏🙏
Thanks for your great work! This is a little unnerving because Montgomery Hall Park is so close to our home.
Unnerving as well that they are not sitting in jail. Minor or not, they are a danger. What makes ya think the parents have any control? If they did would not have happened in the first place. Old enough to know better so old enough for punishment.
Two people can have multiple kids, they are all good kids with the exception of one of them. Why is that one always in trouble? It's because of any of many reasons! Does the one kid make the parents bad? No people just like to make their opinions public knowledge. Does it change anything? Absolutely not!
Good job wrapping that one up!
Would have been better to keep them in juvie. Now they can rob again
Their parents must be so proud of them !
Great job!
Good job!!!!

The Staunton Police Department has received several calls today from concerned citizens in reference to a telephone scam. Scammers have been calling individuals and claiming that their social security number was being “used improperly” in Texas. The scammers were claiming that the citizen needed to confirm their name, date of birth, and social security number as a result. Another caller was told there were warrants for his arrest due to his social security number being used improperly, but that he could avoid arrest by paying a fee.
As a reminder, the Social Security Administration will never contact you by phone requesting personal information. Law enforcement will also never request payment in lieu of an arrest. If you receive a scam telephone call, simply hang up and do not provide any personal or payment information.
I've been getting these calls forever. I keep trying to give them the number of Staunton PD so y'all can send an officer to arrest me but then they just hang up....🤔🙄
My sister has been getting them said her social security number has been compromised. They were on their way to arrest her. She told them to come on she'd be waiting. This was a few weeks ago. She is not well and 84 years old and a widow. Thanks Staunton police Dept. I will tell her
Thanks for the heads up SPD.
It going on every where. A friend of mine in NOVA said he got no less that 8 calls on Monday all claiming the social Security.fraud.
I've had two of those calls as well and I reside in the county.
This has been happening in North Carolina as well.
Verizon added scam protection to my phone plan and it says possible scam when I get those calls so I know not to answer and block the number.
Very Serious !!! Thanks for the information☺
I got one to number to call 3012468671 that’s the number they said to call back and when I do it they will answer
I'm glad you called me because I was just gonna call you to discuss the extended warranty on your car... do you have a minute?
As SOON as they start talking about SS DMV Taxes Fines etc Hang up!
I get them every day, sometimes they leave me voicemails to call them back.
I got 2 of these calls today
So sad what this world is turning into
I've been getting these calls too
Also don’t answer phone calls from unknown numbers.
my wife's phone wont stop ringing

FRAUD PREVENTION
Thank you to the City of Staunton Information Technology department for these cyber safety tips!
Online Shopping Tips
1. Do not use public Wi-Fi for any shopping activity.
Public Wi-Fi networks can be very dangerous, especially during the holiday season. Public Wi-Fi can potentially grant hackers' access to your usernames, passwords, texts and emails. For instance, before you join a public Wi-Fi titled "Apple__Store," make sure you first look around to see if there's actually an Apple Store in your vicinity, and thus, confirm that it is a legitimate network. To help stay secure, you should always be on the lookout for the lock symbol on your webpage.
2. Look for the lock symbol on websites.
When visiting a website look for the “lock” symbol before entering any personal and/or credit card information. The lock may appear in the URL bar, or elsewhere in your browser. Additionally, check that the URL for the website has “https” in the beginning. These both indicate that the site uses encryption to protect your data.
3. Know what the product should cost.
If the deal is too good to be true, then it may be a scam. Check out the company on “ResellerRatings.com”. This site allows users to review online companies to share their experiences purchasing from those companies. This will give you an indication of what to expect when purchasing from them.
4. One-time use credit card numbers.
Many banks are now offering a single use credit card number for online shopping. This one-time number is associated with your account and can be used in place of your credit card number. This way, if the credit card number becomes exposed, it cannot be used again. Check with your credit card company to see if they have this option available.
5. Keep your computer secure.
When using your computer to do your holiday shopping, remember to keep your Anti-virus software up to date and apply all software patches. Never save usernames, passwords or credit card information in your browser and periodically clear your offline content, cookies and history. You will want to keep your computer as clean as possible for online shopping. The world of online shopping can bring lots of new products to your door step and can prove to be a lot of fun finding that special gift. Just remember to be careful so that you don’t make your data a special gift to cybercriminals.
In-Store Shopping Tips
6. Always use credit cards for purchases.
Avoid using your ATM or debit card while shopping. In the event that your debit card is compromised, criminals can have direct access to the funds from your bank account. This could cause you to miss bill payments and overdraw your account. When using a credit card, you are not using funds associated with your bank account. This means you are better protected by your credit card company’s fraud protection program. If you pay off the credit card balance each month, you won’t pay interest and your banking information will be protected.
7. Don’t leave purchases in the car unattended.
Criminals can be watching and will consider breaking into your car to get the merchandise you just purchased. If you must leave some items in your car, consider leaving them in the trunk or glove compartment rather than in a visible location.
8. Beware of “porch pirates.”
When shopping online and receiving purchases by mail, make sure you are always tracking your packages. The US Postal Service, FedEX and UPS all have systems to track your packages, and all three utilize tracking numbers that can be used to figure out where your item is and when it should be delivered to your home. However, the only surefire way to thwart porch pirates is to not have packages delivered to your home at all. Consider having your holiday packages delivered to a family member, your workplace, or a trusted neighbor!
Remember, always trust your instincts. If an email or an attachment seem suspicious, don't let your curiosity put your computer at risk! ~ Happy Holidays and safe shopping!
Thank you for these tips and reminders! You're the best! Be safe!
Great tips! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you!

Get Rid of Unwanted Medications
OCTOBER 10, 2019 — If you have prescription drugs at home that have expired or you no longer need them, you can safely dispose of them Saturday, Oct. 26 on National Prescription Drug Take Back Day.
Local health and public safety officials are encouraging residents to clear their medicine cabinets and turn in medications—no questions asked—to prevent prescription drugs from falling into the wrong hands.
You can drop off unwanted medications from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Oct. 26 at the following locations:
•Fisher Auto Parts parking lot in Staunton (beside Augusta Health Urgent Care, 851 Statler Blvd.)
•Neighborhood Walmart parking lot in Waynesboro, 1211 West Broad St.
Sharps, such as needles, syringes and other medical devices with sharp edges, will not be accepted. The event could end before 2 p.m. if capacity is reached; however, Staunton residents can safely and anonymously dispose of unwanted medications year-round at the CVS Pharmacy located at 1302 Barterbrook Rd.
National Prescription Drug Take Back Day is organized by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and occurs twice a year in the spring and fall. The service is free, and those who turn in drugs remain anonymous.
The DEA reported that the spring Take Back Day brought in 937,443 pounds, or about 469 tons, of unused or expired prescription medication. Since the DEA began the event in the fall of 2010 it has collected more than 11.8 million pounds of medications.
Unused or expired prescription drugs are a public safety issue, leading to potential accidental poisoning, misuse and overdose. Proper disposal of unused drugs saves lives and protects the environment.
More than six million Americans have misused controlled prescription drugs, according to a 2016 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, and the majority of abused medications were obtained from family and friends, often from the home medicine cabinet.
If you know someone who needs treatment for prescription drug abuse, you can locate treatment services in and around Staunton at findtreatment.samhsa.gov/locator?sAddr=24401.

On October 12, 2019 at approximately 10:30pm a robbery was reported at the Jiffee Mart, 806 Grubert Ave. An employee reported that a male brandished a knife before stealing an undisclosed amount of money from the business. The suspect is described as a male wearing dark clothing.
Another employee reported being assaulted by a second suspect outside of the business. That employee received minor injuries as a result of the altercation.
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.
Was this believed to be two males, females, one of each? Was anything else besides money taken? This lacks so much detail and why is this Tuesday and we now hearing about it?

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.
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.
Thanks for posting . I’m sure your detectives will solve and uphold the law
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.
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!
Wow really it takes multiple punks to get what they want? It's really sad that staunton has trash like this but I guess they can't make it in a real city. You will be found and get what's coming to you.
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.
I’m inspired by good people who do good things for needy people who do good things for others while having needs of their own, this is a classic example . STAUNTON POLICE DEPARTMENT along with others who came to the aid of a humble citizen ,doing GOOD THINGS for a GOOD CAUSE💕👍🎊❤️
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.
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
That’s great! Now hopefully he’ll be as dedicated to his dog as he is to cycle to research! 🤦🏻♂️
Everyone should offer then SUPPORT, do you realize what he sacrificed to DO THIS WALK/BIKE of awareness. Obviously cancer has touched him personally and he WANTS people to be aware of it. Offer him a bed, hot shower and meals for him and his dog. GOD BLESS HIM
All of th DC neglected and abused animals in Staunton, and busybodies have to pick on this man on a mission who has a dog with him. I didnt personally assess the dog's condition, but I'll bet there are at least 100 dogs in city limits that are in worse shape than this dog
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 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 ♥️💜✝️🙏👏👏
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!!!
Insert an exasperated Madea ... “O Lort; people be reportin any #%^^ thang”
I personally love the veterinarians at the Staunton Veterinary Clinic. They go above and beyond the call of duty for animals.
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.
Love this, Staunton Police! You’re the best!!
Now if we can get people to report mistreatment of children, women, and the elderly the same things would be better
Thanks for taking care of the dog 🐕
I saw this guy in the middle of the road near gypsy hill. Was worried for the dog. Glad its ok.
I saw this guy bike up with his dog tagging along. Was very worried about the animal.
Thank you Staunton for being such a concerned community!!
Big shout out to Staunton Veterinarian Clinic and Staunton Dog Wash! Thank you for your services to this fella.
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.
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.
Thank you all so much for helping them. Thanks to the man on the bike for all his hard work on helping with the cancer research !!!
Great job to everyone that went the extra mile!!! Extra Thanks to Staunton Dog Wash, Staunton PD and Staunton Veterinary Clinic!
SPD Animal Control Officers are the best!
Awesome! Also, I had no idea Staunton has a dog wash!

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.
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!!!!!!
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 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 Staunton PD for protecting our kids!
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.
Thank you SPD Awesome job Thank you for keeping our children safe
So many sicko’s in the world!! Thanks Staunton PD for keeping our children and grandchildren safe!!!
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!

Congratulations to Officer J.C. Kyle for earning the Staunton Police Department Lifesaving Award! Officer Kyle responded to a call for service on December 28, 2018 in reference to an individual that had attempted to commit suicide with an edged weapon. Officer Kyle acted quickly and without hesitation to disarm the individual and apply a tourniquet to the self-inflicted injury. The individual survived their injuries due to Officer Kyle’s actions.
