It seems like the more Danville try to grow the more violence that occurs here. Its sad to see cold hearted “creatures"trying to rob and harm innocent hard working people. Just the thought of some of the incidents that has happened this year alone in Danville is scary and makes me think more and more each day about purchasing a firearm. And I dont even like them. I hope the so called invaders get caught!

Bored of TV?? Buy a police scanner,No joke there is not a night that doesnt go by where there isnt “at least” one report of shots fired,,,at least once a week to week and a half there is at least one house or one car that has gotten shot up.Just now on the scanner shots fired on lanier and another street I didnt catch.And this isnt the fist time home invaders posed as police to rob some one in Danville.

Those PUNKS will not be back soon. Just a shame the person in the house missed. Put a few of these guys in bodybags and the crime rate will go down.

I shudder to think what Danville will be like in another 10 years. The county may want to consider a border fence.

Great…now we have to watch out for “thugs” that pose as cops! I applaud the homeowner who had a gun for protection! No telling what these punks would have done otherwise!
DPD will catch them sooner or later!
