CHEHALIS – Lewis County Crime Stoppers is now offering text a tip as an option to anonymously report a crime tip and possibly pick up a reward.
The new way to pass along information to law enforcement is easy, according to Lewis County Crime Stoppers.
Text LEWIS to number 274637 (CRIMES).
You will receive a reply with your anonymous code generated by Crime Stoppers’ computer software.
Reply by texting details of your crime tip that will help lead officers to the criminal.
If your tip leads to an arrest crime stoppers will use your anonymous code to communicate with you where information will be sent directly to your phone on how to collect your reward.
People should not use the system to report crimes in progress; for that, people should call 911.
Members of the public can still submit anonymous tips to Crime Stoppers by phoning 1-800-748-6422 or online at http://www.lewiscountycrimestoppers.org
