Crime Stoppers Offers $$ Reward for Info on PDC Trailer Theft

Licking County Crime Stoppers is offering up to a $1,000 reward for anyone that has information that will help law enforcement with the theft of a trailer from a Newark business.

The Newark Police Department reports sometime between Oct. 22-26, someone stole a trailer from Patty’s Dance Center that was in the parking lot of the business on Northtowne Ct. The trailer is valued at $2,500 and described as a 2000 Southwest trailer, 15’6” in length, black with the letters “PDC” in white on both sides, hitch lock, ramp rear door, swing open door, and a diamond plate front.

Anyone with information on this crime is urged to call the Licking County Crime Stoppers at 740-349-6888 or 1-888-488-9058. 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.
