Officer Mike Badger, Crime Stoppers Coordinator for Sangamon and Menard counties.

Crime Stoppers is looking for information about a burglary that occurred at the 200 block of East Main in Rochester on March 13th between 10pm and just before midnight. The thieves entered through a rear door and were able to get away with several handguns and ammunition as well as a small amount of cash.  There was evidence from the crime scene and police have some leads to follow up on, however, more information is needed to solve this crime.
If you leave a tip, Crime Stoppers will pay you a cash reward of up to two thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500) if your information leads to the arrest of the perpetrators. The Crime Stopper tipline can be accessed anytime of the day or night at 788-8427; or you can leave an anonymous tip on this website (Cashfortips.us). If you want to text your tip information to Crime Stoppers, follow the easy text instructions on the right side of the website home page, remember to leave your tip anonymous. The anonymous tip you leave could help lock up a thief and could help get the stolen guns off the street. As a bonus, Crime Stoppers will pay a generous reward to the person who leaves the tip that helps solve this crime.
