This week, as we approach the middle of the summer, Crime Stoppers would like to offer some crime prevention tips. Lock all car doors, even when in a garage and roll up windows tightly. Remove items from the interior, such as radar detectors, I-Pods, lap tops, and cell phones. While out, lock valuables in the trunk or out of sight. At home be sure to lock windows and doors, activate alarms and utilize outdoor lights. And as always, you can report criminal activity anonymously to Crime Stoppers by calling 788-8427, or use this website, cashfortips.us, or text us by typing TIP672, then your message and send to crimes. If your anonymous tip leads to an arrest a cash reward up to $1000 dollars will be paid, depending on the crime being reported. Remember, Crime Stoppers never wants to know who you are, but we do want your tips about crime.
