Licking County Crime Stoppers is offering up
to a $1,000 reward for anyone with information leading to an arrest in
two recent armed robberies. On Sunday,
May 13 at around 5:45am, a man walked into the Speedway on Ohio 310 in Pataskala,
flashed a gun and demanded money from the employees. The suspect took off with an undisclosed
amount of cash. On Tuesday, May 29 at
around 3:50 a.m., a man walked into the Duke and Duchess on the 200 block of
Union Street in Newark, placed a gun against the clerk's head and then demanded
money. The suspect took off with an undisclosed amount of cash. In both cases the suspect was described as a
black man, about 5-feet-10-inches tall and wearing a mask.
Anyone with information on these crimes 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.
