Virginia State Police are warning people about fictitious text messages regarding Amber Alerts.

Police say the messages, that have mostly targeted Roanoke and Lancaster counties, state an Amber Alert has been issued in Virginia.

However, no agencies are currently reporting or investigating and incidents that meet the criteria for an Amber Alert.

Click on the link below to see if any Amber Alerts have been issued in the Commonwealth.

Anyone with questions is asked to call Virginia State Police at 804-674-2030.

SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE!..cus messing with this amber alert system and crying wolf about a missing child..gets people thinking when they c a familiar child that has been reported "missing" if they are really reported missing or not and then there that child is kidnapped..lonely..homesick & maybe almost being killed!..DO SOMETHINGGG!
