Licking County Crime Stoppers is offering up to a
$1,000 reward for anyone with information leading to an arrest in the
theft and use of stolen checks. The Licking County Sheriff’s Office reports on
Dec. 19 and Dec. 21 two stolen checks totaling $900.00 were cashed at a local
bank. The checks were stolen from a home
on County Line Rd. in Hopewell.
Anyone with information on this crime is urged to call
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.,
