MECHANICSVILLE, VA (WWBT)- A rent drop box check washing scam has ripped off tenants in Mechanicsville.

Just last week, we told you how thieves were snatching rent payments in Henrico County. Now Hanover Police are investigating the same type thefts - this time, the complex is suing to evict tenants for non-payment after their money orders got stolen.

The money order snatchers are still out there or maybe they've moved on to another city and state. Not knowing is exactly why Jennifer Wright says she's scared she could get hurt for speaking out. Mostly though, she's angry at Mill Trace Village Apartments.

The summons to evict the family shows a May 20 court date. Wright says Mill Trace Village Apartments doesn't dispute rent checks and money orders were stolen from their drop box - but it's holding the tenants responsible.

RICHMOND, VA (WWBT)- NBC12 investigated where MS-13 is in the Richmond Metro Area, asking each locality to tell us what kinds of crimes they've seen by the gang in the last five years.

In Chesterfield this year, two men claiming to be MS-13 members were suspects in a Meadowdale burglary. In 2012, three MS-13 members who lived in Chesterfield were charged with the murder of Osbin Hernandez near Pony Pasture. They were later convicted of the crime in Richmond.

That same year, two MS-13 members from Chesterfield were charged with rape and conviction. Officials say the two teen gang members raped a 15-year-old Chesterfield girl, threatening her with a machete. They threatened that they would not take her home unless there was an "exchange".

In 2011, Chesterfield reported MS-13 related graffiti painted at the Chesterfield Village Apartments.
