Crime Stoppers Crime of the Week - Lufkin Daily News

Crime Stoppers prioritizes solving felony crimes but accepts anonymously-submitted crime-solving tips concerning all offenses. Individually, we are more likely to be victims of the crimes many people consider “minor,” like theft, vehicle burglary and fraud, than we are “major” crimes like murder, rape and robbery, and solving minor offenses often can prevent future crimes.

With that in mind, this week Crime Stoppers has four thieves that need to be identified.

There is no indication that the four are connected other than having decided to steal the same type property. The crimes occurred between November 2016 and June 2017 at locations around Lufkin, and each involved the theft of a phone or similar device: two Samsung Galaxy phones, an Apple iPod Touch and an Apple iPhone. Looking only at the value of the property stolen, these crimes appear to be misdemeanors, but prior theft convictions could mean the thieves will face felony punishment.

At 639TIPS.com, you’ll find video of the unidentified thieves. The security videos of the thefts are low resolution, but you’ll be able to name the criminals if you know them, and submitting an anonymous tip that identifies one of the offenders might earn you a reward. The number of crimes solved by a Crime Stoppers Tip is one factor considered in determining the reward amount, so identifying more than one of the thieves improves your chances at a higher reward.

If you can identify any of the thieves, call Crime Stoppers at 639-TIPS or submit a tip at 639TIPS.com. Calls and tips directly to Crime Stoppers are anonymous, and an anonymous tip that leads to an arrest might be eligible for a reward.
