great job Chris and Lacey Police

Thank Christ! I have ZERO tolerance ( hate that saying ) for this kind of thing. It hurts people financially and turns their world upside down. Including little kids who also live there. Anyone who has gotten stuff stolen from or has had their house broken knows what Im talking about. I hope whoever is guilty goes to jail for a very long time. Good work by Lacey PD and whoever helped them. Thank god.

Great job Detective Sgt. Cornelius and the rest of the detectives for putting 11 of Lacey Twp's thieving, drug sucking scum behind bars. Unfortunately, we know they will all get out and just start doing it all over again. They can't help themselves. It's a never ending battle for you guy's. Keep up the good work LTPD and God Bless!

All so they could get their drugs..

FINALLY, Great job by all Det.and CC. Grab one pillhead chick she will give em all up, they are just the start of this Dope fueled crew that robs homes during the day cause work is a four letter word which they will have to do for probation .I hope the Judge makes them do it even if its for free, Now post pics of them in cars and watch the movement like cops use to do? When we knew the Actors we watched them, they always come back (cowards) to what they know CRIME!!!!! Soon someone will be home and Armed and it wont be pretty, Coming Soon to a home near you.

Good they are all addicts who need help jail is a good place for them people have babies and toddlers in their homes And things that mean a lot to them give it a rest and get a damn job if you want to continue with your nasty addiction instead of stealing from people who work hard for what they want. Thank god my house has adt alarms all over it lol

Good work LTPD, now if only JCP&L can cut the power to the O.C. jail so they can suffer without heat and hot food as we had too. I was just informed they can't do that as our 90 yr old Sheriff might catch a cold & be out on WORKERS COMP......

Nice job Lacey PD, lock em' up!

Lacey Township's Detectives should be commended for a job well done.

Good job Lacey pd

My home was robbed in September, so now i read about all these arrest and im wondering if any of my things have been recovered, a phone call from the detective handling my case would be nice just to keep us updated

thank you lacey police and great job!

Sucks i either know about half of them and the half i dont know im familiar with some of their names

Maybe Chris Cornelius should be next in line for chief of police

Great job all around! Hats off to the police department and honest citizens who reported ill activity. I said it in a previous thread when these acts began and I will say it again...opening a pawn shop in Lacey was a recipe for disaster and this proves my point. Hand shakes for the police department and head shakes for the council approving the pawn shop to open.

I went to school with most of these kids. screw them.great job LTPD

losers

look at the age of these thugs. lacey's future to be sure.

Great job, Lacey Police! Thanks so much for your efforts to protect us - now if we could only eliminate drugs in Lacey.

Throw them in prison for a long time 3 squares a cot nothing else

looks like someone didn't like my previous comment and deleted it. wow. i guess it was the pawn shop owner. lol

Thank god these losers are off the streets! They've been trouble for years! Go Lacey police!!!

Hahahahahahaha

What's up with the kids now adays!! Where r the parents..maybe they should pay attention to where they go and who they Hang with..unreal

Ill say this once more, DO AWAY WITH THAT PAWN SHOP... MAKES IT EASY ON THEM, I BET NONE OF THEM HAVE CARS TO DRIVE OUT OF TOWN TO OTHER PAWN SHOPS.. CLOSE DOWN THAT HORRIBLE PLACE!!!!

These drug addicts need YOUR drugs that's why they're breaking into your house. Why not steal some jewelry along the way? I know when I see my drug dealer I need an appointment and a co pay. These kids would save themselves a lot of trouble if they just invested in some health insurance and a "back problem"

tell you the truth during the power outage 2 weeks for my neighborhood it got darn dark and i was a little frightened when i heard an odd noise so glad lacey pd were riding thru

Some of the comments here are disgusting and disturbing. Criminals should pay reparations for their crimes, but these people have yet to go to trial. The truth is that they are innocent until proven guilty. Comments aimed at defaming their character--calling them addicts, etc.,--are not only out of out of place but offensive. These kind of statements reveal an ignorant and uncompromising mindset which is, in truth, far more damaging to society than robbery.

guilty as charged, Cornelius or Veltri, extream integrity, either one would make an excellent cheif.

All scumbags

Thank you LTPD! All Lacey residents remember the slogan, "If you see something say something!" It's the citizens tips and awesome detective work that leads to arrests!

Why are some of them on the street for crimes from 2011? What happened to those charges? I guess they will post bail and continue. This must frustrate some people.

Gotta love how it's somehow Fast Cash's fault that these people robbed houses.

A BIG THANKS TO LACEY PD! Glad these thieves are behind bars. Lets hope there's no revolving doors, let these lowlifes learn a lesson and let them sit in jail awhile. I agree, it was a little frightening sitting in the dark those few nights. We bought a generator just in case there is a need again. Lets pray something like that never happens again. God Bless the U.S.

too crazy..... these kids really need help. It is the drugs that are making them steal, but they are the ones that got themselves into the mess, so let them learn their lesson in jail...

Ed.. if ken was my kid and pulled that stuff I would drive him to the jail with a weeks worth of socks and underware and tell them to lock him up for as long as needed.. also I will prove your point wrong with the schooling, I personally never finished highschool or went to collage but yet I manage to have a job and take care of myself with no help from others and I do not have to rob anyone in order to do so.. these kids are lazy and all they care about is their next fix.. jail and 6-12 month rehab is def. Called for.. without the who knows what they'll steal next for their next fix and possibly OD.. and maybe everyone is their OWN person and can make their own choises with their own minds.. parents or not drug problems or not.. if the parents did infact have problems with drugs you'd think these kids would have learned a lesson and not follow in an addiction pattern.. bottom line, lazy.

Its a crying shame what has become of so many of our town's youth today. It breaks my heart to read some of these names as it seem like it was only yesterday I can remember serving some of them lunch in the local elementary school cafeteria when they were just inoccent children. If only they had listened to Mr. Mackey-the school counselor and his lectures on drug and alcohol prevention.

"hey ed... (Maybe Kenneth or Jamie grew up in a broken home where their parents were abusive and drug use was common, because mom was unemployed and dad was absent.) really do you know them because i do thats my sister and we have family who love us just because your probably sit in your house alone 24/7 and judge everybody that you probably dont even know does not give you the right to open your mouth. my dad is here my mom is here they both work and neither of them use drugs and we were never once hit.

About time!! One of them robbed my house, not once, but twice...and got away with it both times!! And Ed, he came from a good home, and has a brother who is a police officer. He is just a junkie, who robs people to feed his habit. I couldn't be happier at this moment :) Lacey used to be such a great town, and I loved raising my kids there. Now, I thank God I've moved away, cause it scares the crap out of me what is happening in that town!

Hey Ed how about you mind your own business and get your facts straight before you spread rumors about my family. Kenny is my brother and we did not grow up with parents who did drugs and my mother worked full time since the day I was born and we do not have an absent dad. and abusive?! try again buddy lol. How about you stop spreading rumors about my family.

God forbid we spell a kid or two's name correctly, eh patch?

these kids need serious rehab... at least for a year !!! I feel for them...The pain pill addiction is bad... I am married 28 years , no broken home !~!!! my husband and i are both teachers, Our daughter who is 22 , has a addiction to pain pills., we have lived in Lacey 26 years. She has been addicted for 3 and a half years. Lacey is full of this epidemic, that is what it has become, a epidemic. She is in jail , and will be till after Christmas because she broke her probation, the pill addiction has gotten her into alot of trouble. What you all dont understand is any moral thinking, wrong and right is taken away by these pills. YES , they need to pay for their crimes, but rehab is the only way... Jail will not help them. The addiction is a disease.... I as a parent will never ever give up on my child. She is not a scumbag and does not need judgement by people who have not a clue. ALL these young adults have made a serious mistake that they will pay for the rest of their lives. I THE MOTHER OF A DRUG ADDICT APOLOGIZE for what they have done , but none of you will ever understand unless you live it... and it s not because of broken homes or because of parents that use drugs.

I was home when to of theses guys broke in thru a downstairs window. So...
Ed until you've lived thru that please don't do the poor poor babies. It's been months and I'm still unnerved at night by noises. So I really hope they'll all be gone for awhile not home on bail living around the corner from me.

Jake2, you said it all so well, noone will ever understand, until they have experienced it. Addicts come from all walks of life. I too have a 22 year old daughter who is an addict. I never did drugs, nor do I drink. I am a single mom, and the only thing I am guilty of is working long hours to support my family. I set the best examples I could, and my kids were always ambitious, smart and well rounded. I dont blame anyone for my daughters problem. The choices were hers, and she thought she could party a little and then go back to living her life. The drugs took hold and completely changed who she was. I wont go on about the details of her addiction, I just wanted to tell you how happy I was to hear you say that you will never give up on your child. That was the stance that I also took, and I let her know that, unconditionally. She finally decided to reach out for help, went into rehab out of state, followed the programs, graduated, started living in a sober living community, and is back to being the person she was meant to be.Two years ago, I didnt believe it was possible. Dont ever give up. My daughter thanked me, telling me that she knows I never gave up on her even though she had given up on herself. She told me that my love saved her life, because without it she would have eventually died. Just a few words of encouragement for you and other families going thru this, dont ever give up, there is always hope, with love and encouragement, all things are possible

why don't these young people have a JOB to make their own money rather then stealing??

The kids that came in bashing Ed's hypothetical remarks need to read more carefully. He was almost defending your family members who are stealing other people hard earned things because they're too much of a dope head to get a job and work for their own money. He hypothetically said maybe there was more to the story than just being a dirtbag. Sheesh.

It was not hypothetical try stereotypical thank you very much and have a wonderful new year

oh yes these poor poor drug addicts. I worked hard my whole life, graduated college and dont have alot. Except a family heirloom that was stolen BY an addict....So while you are making excuses, I lost the only possession I ever had from my mother and she is dead. So thank you drug addicts!

Oh and by the way to everyone who reads this and believes this site is so full of facts Jamie yeah the charges got dropped. Have a wonderful new year

Maybe you should get an alarm or make sure yor house has something a little more than a door to not get robbed.

i feel for anyone who has had possesions stolen , myself included... possesions from my childhood , possesions from my parents and grandparents are all gone... its terribly disturbing. i do not feel bad for drug addicts , i feel they need help. Our society is full of drugs , illegal and legal ,which are abused. Our politicans need to see what is happening here , it is out of control , and something drastic needs to be done to get this epidemic under control..... the presciption pain pill addiction is destroying our young people and it is making them crazed animals... they will do anything for their addiction.... we need to STOP the source or the sources !!!!!!

You just said it yourself it is out of control our control the states control and most definetly their control. So how are we going to control it?

YEAH JESSIE , it is outta control !!!! and we cant stop it.... the government needs to step in !!!! and see how it is an epidemic ..... how are these kids getting the pils. from where and who.... i know dealers , and where are they getting them... the kids are not educating in schools on what happens to them once they are addicted....we just teach them to say no to drugs,,,, they have no idea how addicting the pills are... i know someone who started using and didnt know why after a couple of weeks... didnt know why he had nausia and cold sweats. a teenager , who already was going through withdrawl....why do Doctors prescribe these pain pills ( narcotics ) for any little pain and ache , when patients dont even ask for them.....they are highly addictive,,,, do you know how many people are in rehabs because they had prescriptions given to them from Doctor s..... what a joke... Go to a pain clinic and see how many people really need the pain pill , or is because they are addicted and thats their fix or just maybe they are gonna sell them ...i cant stop it nor can you !!! The government needs to step in or someone with power and stop this nightmare.....The addicts do not have control , unless they get help, thrown in jail , or overdose.... Even if they get themselves in recovery, they will always be an addict !!!! thats just great !!!!!!! what a shame !!!!!

Jake I understand where you are coming from I'm just trying to say that yeah they may not be justified but they can't help their actions anymore. And our jails are to over crowded and its gotten way to far out of hand to throw everybody in jail their would be a handful of kids left in schools.

yes , your right !!!! i teach in a high school in TOMS River.... these kids think its great to try it but have no idea of the conquences they are in for, for the rest of their lives.... jail is not the answer ... i agree .... thats why the rehabs are so full.....its just a mess , and so depressing !!! i wish i had the answer.... i am not an addict , nor do i have a addictive personality.. so i dont get it... i say just quit and move on... but it s not that easy .......the pain pill addiction and heroin is one of the hardest addictions to break !!! it s awful...

I'm just tired of my family being wrongfully slander because before a trial even comes Lacey patch is putting them guilty?
