Reward Offered for Information on Shootings

Licking County Crime Stoppers is offering up to $1,000 for anyone with information that leads to an arrest in recent shootings into homes and vehicles. 

The shootings have occurred in Heath, Hebron, and Newark. The Heath Police Department and Licking County Sheriff’s Office are investigating five separate shootings in late August and Early September. 

One shooting took place on Keller Dr. in Heath. Three shootings took place on Lake Dr. in Newark, and one took place on Lees Rd. NE in Hebron. 

Anyone with information on the crimes is encouraged to call Licking County Crime Stoppers at (740) 349-6888 or 1-888-488-9058. A coding system protects the identity of the caller but allows for the reward to be issued at a later date. 

Crime Stoppers takes calls from anyone with information on any felony. Information that leads to an arrest and indictment of a felony suspect could qualify the caller for a reward. That is determined by the Crime Stoppers’ Board.
