Up to $1,000 Reward on Tools Theft

Licking County Crime Stoppers is offering up to a $1,000 reward for anyone with information leading to tools being stolen from a Newark house. The Newark Division of Police reports sometime between Sept. 15 - Oct. 20, someone stole several tools out of a garage in the 1000 block of Shaw Dr. Items stolen include: a 24-foot extension ladder, drills, saws, sanders, and other items.

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.
