Fitness center thefts

Fitness center thefts

  • 14 October 2016

There’s been a series of thefts from fitness centers in the area and Crime Stoppers needs your tips to help solve these crimes. In the past week, police have taken several reports of items being stolen from lockers in the fitness centers or from cars parked outside gyms while the victims were working out. Police are investigating these thefts and hope you can help identify the thieves. Please remember that you should never leave anything of value visible in a car and always lock your car while you’re working out. Also, secure items with padlocks in fitness center lockers. In some of these incidents, the thieves removed just the credit cards and ID’s from purses and wallets and then placed thousands of dollars of charges on the cards.

If you have any information about these thefts, we want to hear from you. Call us with your tips at 788-8427 or leave a tip on the website cashfortips.us. We pay cash rewards for your anonymous information if the information leads to an arrest.
