Tri-Cities No Longer Has a Crime Stoppers Tip Line
Tri-Cities Crime Stoppers which has been available to the community for over 30 years is no longer...

Crime Stoppers was pivotal in helping to arrest some 5,864 wanted individuals over the last 30 years. Last year the non-profit helped put 45 individuals behinds bars.
Crime Stoppers paid out over $86,000 in rewards over the years.
