Crime Stoppers Crime of the Week

 February 1, 2018

Officer Mike Badger, for Crime Stoppers of Sangamon and Menard counties.

A burglary attempt occurred during the early morning hours of January 10^th at Triple Play Gaming Parlor which is located at the 1300 block of Stevenson Drive and Crime Stoppers is hoping you have a tip which will lead to the identification and arrest of the perpetrators. Investigators from the Sangamon County Sheriff’s Office believe that the persons responsible for the burglary may have been interrupted while the crime was in progress and we’re hoping someone in the community saw something unusual that they did not realize at the time may have been a burglary in progress.  If you know who this burglary suspect is (pictured on this page), let us know.

If you know, and leave an anonymous tip, Crime Stoppers will pay you a cash reward of up to two thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500) if your information leads to an arrest. You can leave a tip anytime on the Crime Stopper tipline at 788-8427 or leave a tip on our website Cashfortips.us.
