Crime Stoppers Success Story

Shortly after midnight on May 16 th ten prisoners escaped from a New Orleans jail.

These were dangerous men but, fortunately, within a week five of them were

back in custody, one of them thanks to a Crime Stoppers tip. Over the years there

have been thousands of Crime Stoppers tips that have been used to apprehend

criminals. But we rarely read about them because of the need to protect the

identity of the tipster. In this case it seems that the tipster disclosed sufficient

information to assist the police but not so much as to risk revealing their identity.

Now that’s a great tip!
