“Crime Doesn’t Pay… But We Do!” Lassen County Crime Stoppers is making our community safer, one tip at a time. The volunteer-run organization, which works in close partnership with local law enforcement, has put together an exceptionally successful year, with community tips directly leading to multiple arrests and the recovery of stolen property and funds.
As part of the organizations’ annual fundraising drive a live raffle will be held featuring an impressive lineup of 33 packages, gift baskets, services and merchandise donated by generous businesses and individuals across Lassen County.
We have raffle tickets to give away! Four lucky winners will each win a sheet of 25 tickets to use in the raffle.
Enter before midnight Wednesday and we will announce the winners Thursday morning!
This year alone, the group received 42 tips—37 by phone and 5 via social media—which has resulted in 6 arrests. In turn, tipsters received a total of $850 in anonymous cash rewards. Lassen Crime Stoppers also approved special $1,000 rewards for several high-profile investigations, including spearheading the search for information regarding the homicide of Janesville veterinarian Richard Meinert.
Every single dollar contributed goes straight toward community outreach and funding cash rewards to combat crime throughout Lassen County. Since forming in 2016, the organization has awarded nearly $10,000 to more than 100 tipsters—though many civic-minded citizens decline a reward altogether, simply wanting to help keep their neighborhoods safe.
Tickets are sold in sheets for $10 per sheet, giving you 25 chances to win. You can allocate your tickets however you like—place all 25 chances into one basket or spread them across multiple favorites. Simply stop by Wheels West and they will help you purchase tickets.
