Shelter Break-In and Arrest | Virginia Beach News

A break-in at the Gloucester-Mathews Humane Society left staff shaken—but thankfully, no animals were harmed. Deputies responded to a shattered office window and caught 32-year-old John Fields, who had been loitering inside before fleeing. Charged with burglary, property damage, and petty theft, Fields was taken into custody without incident. This case underscores how even animal shelters remain vulnerable targets—yet the community’s focus stays firmly on protecting the furry residents they serve.
