Up to $1,000 Reward on Carryout Break-In

Licking County Crime Stoppers is offering up to a $1,000 reward for anyone that has information leading to an arrest in a break-in at a Newark business. The Newark Police Department reports between 4-7 a.m. on Oct. 14, someone broke into the South End Carryout at 128 S. Second St and stole the following items: cash, wine, and Marlboro cigarettes.

Anyone with information on this crime is urged to call the Licking County Crime Stoppers at 740-349-6888 or 1-888-488-9058. A special coding system protects the identity of the caller but allows for the reward to be issued at a later time.    

Crime Stoppers also takes calls from persons with information about any felony. Information leading to the arrest and indictment of a felony suspect could qualify the caller for a reward as determined by the Crime Stoppers’ Board. Crime Stoppers is a non-profit organization. Reward money comes from private individuals, businesses, and foundations that see Crime Stoppers as an integral tool in the community’s fight against crime. Tax-deductible donations can be sent to: Licking County Crime Stoppers, Inc., P.O. Box 304, Newark, OH 43058-0304.
