Crime Stoppers Tip of the Week July 16, 2015  This week Crime Stoppers is focusing on a problem that has been plaguing neighborhoods in the Springfield area, particularly in the past few weeks. Local police officers have taken numerous reports on overnight thefts from parked motor vehicles and, in some cases, thefts of the vehicles where keys were left in them. Please remember, lock your cars, remove all property from your parked vehicles, and never leave keys in a vehicle. Crime Stoppers is attempting to identify the small groups of juvenile thieves who are responsible for these thefts from vehicles. We’ll forward any information you have to police for investigation, and you can earn a cash reward if your information leads to arrests. Call us at 788-8427, submit your tip on this website, cashfortips.us, or text your  tip by typing TIP672, then enter the information you have to help identify the criminals, and send it all to CRIMES.

  This week Crime Stoppers is focusing the Crime of the Week on the theft of a large quantity of toilet paper from the St Martin Deporres Center at Martin Luther King and South Grand on June 29th. We don’t like to see the charitable efforts of an organization dedicated to helping people in need hindered by a small group of people who decide to steal from charity. Help Crime Stoppers identify the thieves who took advantage of the hard work of volunteers and the generosity of others for their own small personal gain. Give us any information you have about this crime or the names of persons involved and we’ll forward the names of suspects to police for investigation and prosecution. If an arrest is made you will earn cash reward if it was your tip that led to the arrest.  You can call us at 788-8427, you can submit your tip on this website, cashfortips.us, or you can text us with the information by typing TIP672, before you enter your suspect information, and send it all to CRIMES.  More complete text instructions are on this page. We don’t want your name, we just want the names of persons responsible for crime……. contact Crime Stoppers
