In the past 15 years, the tips have resulted in 187 arrests, the recovery of more than $71,000 in property, and the seizure of drugs valued at $2,800.

"We work very closely with law enforcement in order to keep our program relevant and also looking for helpful tips from our community in order to solve crimes," says Lincoln County Crime Stoppers President Betsy Wiesneski.
