CRIME-fighting charity, Crimestoppers, is today (18th March) offering a reward of up to £3,000 for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for the recent spate of burglaries in the Osbaston area of Monmouth.

The burglaries have been ongoing in the area since the beginning of June 2014, with one of the incidents seeing a man assaulted after he spotted movement in a neighbour's house and a car parked outside.

He was attacked after a man got out of the parked car, described as a black Lexus/ Saloon, and was joined by a number of other men. He was struck in the arm with a baseball bat, but did not suffer serious injuries.

 

Crimestoppers is now offering a reward of up to £3,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the people responsible for these burglaries.

 

Stuart Taylor, chairman for Crimestoppers' committee in Wales, said: "For this gang of individuals to have committed so many offences over such a long period of time is unacceptable.

 

"People should be allowed to feel that they and their belongings are safe within their homes, and this is why Crimestoppers is offering this reward and appealing for the public's help in catching those responsible. Tell us what you know anonymously, we don't want to know who you are."

 

If you have any information on these crimes, contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or through the Anonymous Online Form at http://www.crimestoppers-uk.org">www.crimestoppers-uk.org.

 

The full reward will only qualify if information is passed to Crimestoppers' 0800 555 111 number or anonymous online form at http://www.crimestoppers-uk.org">www.crimestoppers-uk.org. Information passed directly to police will not qualify for the full amount.
