McKees Rocks Police Department

Residents:

We have been made aware of a new trend involving young people kicking front doors repeatedly before running away.

We are actively investigating several incidents, and when these juveniles are identified, they will be held accountable.

Parents, please talk to your kids and discourage this behavior immediately. We cannot stress enough, the dangers in these types of actions.

In the best case scenario, no damages are done, no residents are home and there is no critical incident to investigate.

In the worst case scenario, damages are done, residents are home, and interpret someone kicking their door as an attempted home invasion or burglary and they use deadly force to protect themselves from the perceived threat.

The last thing this or any community needs is a deadly force incident over what these young kids think is a trendy joke.

Please help us and talk to your children, your neighbors children, your nieces and nephews.

Thank you.

Incident Update:

The McKees Rocks Police Department is aware of a video circulating of an individual who is swinging a small dog around by the leash, which is attached to a neck collar.

We have concluded our investigation, identified the individual responsible, conducted the necessary interviews, and collected the evidence needed.

Circumstances pertaining to certain details of this investigation warrant a consultation with the DA’s office.

More information will be released at a later date

Today, Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General, Task Force members comprised of McKees Rocks and Stowe Twp Police Department Investigations teams apprehended DAVION THOMPSON.

He was taken into custody within seconds. He was found to be in possession of narcotics and a non serialized ghost gun equipped with a full auto sear and extended magazine.

Thanks to the hard work, dilligence, fearlessness, and dedication to public service, this illegally modified weapon, and “person not to possess” are now removed from the public before any critical incident could take place.
