Crime Stoppers

Near North Crime Stoppers has started a double rewards program for this month and wants to find the people responsible for several acts of vandalism to private and public property in the area.

Over the last few months, there has been an increase of graffiti, destruction of signs and damages to properties.

Police Coordinator Jean Lemieux says nobody wins in the end, when it comes to vandalism.  “Destroying signs, it costs money to replace those signs,” said Lemieux.  

“Private individuals, if they claim it on their insurance, well guess what? The insurance market and everybody else pays for it.”

During the month of November, people can earn up $2,000 for information that will assist Crime Stoppers in identifying the people responsible.
