2 Va. children found, mother arrested after Amber Alert issued

WASHINGTON — Police have found two Virginia children after an Amber Alert was issued earlier in the day.

Hours earlier, authorities had asked for the public’s help in locating the two kids, whom they said were abducted by their mother early Monday in Roanoke.

Bailey Crumbly, 5, and Gauge Clinton, 4, were “safely located” Monday afternoon, according to a tweet from Virginia State Police. Mother Camille Marie Crumbly, who is not allowed to have contact with her children, was taken into custody. Also believed to be with the children was Crumbly’s friend, Tineshia Monae Mack.

Authorities believed the four were traveling to Indiana in U-Haul pickup. Unrelated warrants had also been issued for both Crumbly and Mack.
