Reward Offered on Theft from Wright Brothers

Licking County Crime Stoppers is offering up to a $1,000 reward for anyone with information leading to an arrest in the theft of a trailer and mower from a Newark business. The Newark Division of Police reports in the early morning hours of May 17, suspect(s) broke into Wright Brothers, located at 625 W. Church St., and stole a trailer with a Bunton Estate lawn mower on it. A neighbor told police that he saw a black Ford Explorer driving away with the trailer, and the driver was a white male with facial hair and 20 to 30 years old.

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.
