This week, Crime Stoppers is asking for your help in preventing construction site burglaries. As the weather gets warmer, construction season is in full swing. Contractors, home builders, and remodeling companies are working hard to improve our neighborhoods and local infrastructure.
Unfortunately, criminals often see these job sites as opportunities to steal expensive tools, construction materials, and supplies. These crimes delay projects, impact local workers, and create safety concerns.
If you see suspicious activity around a construction site—such as after-hours visitors, unmarked vehicles, or unfamiliar individuals in the area, call your local police department immediately.
If you have any information regarding recent construction site theft or any other crime, call Crime Stoppers anonymously at 217-788-8427, submit a tip on this website, or use the P3 app. If your tip results in an arrest, you could receive a cash reward of up to $2,500.
Remember, Crime Stoppers only wants your information, not your name.
