Licking County Crime Stoppers is offering up
to a $1,000 reward for anyone with information leading to an arrest in
a burglary and theft at a home in Jersey Township. The Licking County Sheriff’s Office reports, during
the evening hours on Saturday, Oct. 28 a suspect came to a home on the 9000
block of Jug Street Road and asked the homeowner for directions to U.S.
62. The following afternoon, when the
homeowner came home from work, he noticed the home had been broken into and a
large amount of cash was missing.
Anyone with information on this crime is urged to
call the Licking County Crime Stoppers at 740-349-6888. 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.
