On 8 June, Crime Stoppers and the Housing and Building Association (HBA) of Colorado Springs announced a partnership aimed at curtailing theft from local building sites.  Builders have witnessed a spike in theft at both commercial and residential building sites, which in turn has translated into added costs for homebuilders, home buyers and businesses, and also has led to significant delays in construction projects.  Through the Crime Stoppers program and tip line, the HBA is offering multiple $1,000 rewards for information that leads to the arrest of construction site thieves and vandals. 
 
Crime Stoppers provides a means for citizens to report information on crimes and remain anonymous. Through our tip line number, 719-634-STOP, or website www.crimestop.net, individuals with information on construction site theft, or any other crime, can report information to Crime Stoppers.  Crime Stoppers will ensure local law enforcement receives the information without ever releasing any identifying information on the tip provider. 
 
If you have information or witness suspicious activity at a building site, especially activity occurring between 7pm and 7am, please contact Crime Stoppers via the tip line or website.  You’ll remain anonymous and you can help reduce crime in our community, and in many cases, receive a monetary reward for doing so. Call 719-634-STOP.

Manitou Springs, Colo. (June 2, 2021) – More than 50 monuments and gravesites at the Crystal Valley Cemetery in Manitou Springs were damaged by vandals in May, resulting in about $25,000 in damages.
 
Crews from the city’s Parks and Recreation and Public Works also found large amounts of trash and a small burn area. They are working to restore the cemetery to its original condition.
 
“It is disheartening to see such disregard and damage towards the memories of our community’s loved ones,” said Manitou Springs Police Interim Chief Bill Otto. “We have heightened our patrols around the cemetery.”
 
The Parks and Recreation Department will contact the families and plot-owners whose loved one’s gravesites experienced irreparable damage.
 
In the meantime, Pikes Peak Area Crime Stoppers is teaming up with the Manitou Springs Police Department to find the people  responsible for this crime. A reward is being offered for information leading to an arrest.
 
Individuals may submit information safely and anonymously through Pikes Peak Area Crime Stoppers online at crimestop.net, the P3 app, by calling 719-634-STOP (7867) or 1-800-222-8477.
 
Questions regarding the crime itself should be directed to MPD, or dial 911 in an emergency.
