Stoppers Crime of the
Week - March 20th, 2008
Hi,
I'm Officer Paula Morrow, Crime Stoppers' Coordinator
for Sangamon and Menard Counties.
This week Crime Stoppers is attempting to identify
the suspects in several cases of Aggravated Battery,
Criminal Defacement of Property and Criminal Damage
to Property that occurred on March 8th and March 10th.
The Springfield Police Department is investigating ten
reports of suspects shooting paintball guns at people
and property throughout the City of Springfield. The
damage to property in these incidents has been minimal.
However, in at least two cases, the suspect aimed and
shot a paintball gun at two senior citizens who were
walking on the sidewalk. All of these acts appear to
be random. The suspects were described as white males,
one of them with brown hair. The suspect vehicle is
believed to be a dark colored Pontiac, possibly a Grand
Am or Grand Prix.
If you have information on this crime or know the identity
of the suspects, you can remain completely anonymous
by calling Crime Stoppers at 217-788-8427 [1-800-397-2288],
submitting a tip via the
internet or use a
cell phone to send a tip. You could get a cash reward
of up to $1000.
Remember Crime Stoppers wants your information, not
your name.
