Crime Stoppers Crime of the Week - October 8th, 2009

Hi, I'm Officer Butch Slater, Crime Stoppers' Coordinator for Sangamon and Menard Counties.

This week Crime Stoppers is seeking information about a Theft Under that occurred on Wednesday August 19th 2009 on A Springfield Mass Transit Bus. The victim states that she did not realize that she had left her purse on the bus as she was carrying several other items. Another passenger saw the purse unattended and gave the purse to the bus driver. A heavy set black female and black male then got on the same bus at 14th and Washington. Once the bus arrived downtown at 5th and Capital, the female made small talk with the bus driver as she put her bag on top of the purse. When she was done talking the female grabbed her bag along with the purse and went to the back of the bus and exits through the side door.

If you have information about this incident, you can remain completely anonymous by contacting Crime Stoppers at 217-788-8427 [1-800-397-2288], submitting a tip via the internet or using a cell phone to send a tip [type TIP672 plus your message and send it CRIMES(274637)]. You could get a cash reward of up to $1000.

Remember Crime Stoppers wants your information, not your name.
