CRIME STOPPERS OFFERS $500 MINIMUM FOR TIPS THAT LEAD TO THE ARREST OF WANTED WEDNESDAY SUSPECTS

Crime Stoppers of Sault Ste. Marie and Algoma District Inc. is excited to announce a special incentive in honor of our anniversary month. Throughout June, tips submitted through our Wanted Wednesday initiative that lead to the arrest of a suspect will be eligible for a minimum reward of $500, as authorized by our Board of Directors.

June 20, 2024, marks the 39th anniversary of Crime Stoppers of Sault Ste. Marie and Algoma District Inc. Since our founding on June 20, 1985, we have been committed to promoting community safety by encouraging public participation in crime-solving efforts. Over the years, we have removed over $7.7 million worth of illegal drugs from our streets, recovered more than $3.9 million in stolen property, and seized numerous illegal weapons. We have received over 30,000 tips from the public, leading to 4,486 arrests and the approval of over $500,000 in rewards for tipsters.

Crime Stoppers is not a law enforcement agency and does not conduct investigations. Instead, it serves as a conduit for the public to provide information to help solve past, present, and future crimes, including locating wanted persons, missing persons, narcotics, stolen property, and other criminal activities.
