The Union County Prosecutor's Office and the Union County Police Chiefs Associations are partnering with Union County Crime Stoppers to reduce car thefts and burglaries in Union County.
According to officials, the partnership will allow members of the public to report tips about these crimes anonymously.
Union County Crime Stoppers will offer rewards of up to $10,000 for information that leads to an arrest and indictment. "We want to send a message to criminals that car thefts and burglaries will not be tolerated in our community," said Union County Prosecutor William Daniel.
"By working with Union County Crime Stoppers, we are giving people a safe and anonymous way to report crime and holding those who commit these and all crimes accountable."
Tipsters never need to reveal their names, whether they call the twenty-four-hour hotline number or submit a tip via Union County Crime Stoppers website. The Union County Police, in cooperation with the Union County Prosecutor's Office and Union County Police Chiefs Association, receive and coordinate all tips submitted to the Union County Crime Stoppers program.
