MACON, Ga. — Since 2000, Macon Regional Crimestoppers has helped clear almost 10,000 cases spanning eight Central Georgia counties, and in June, executive director Corporal Greg Thomas says they passed more than $1 million in rewards from tips.
"It's people sharing what they know so they can feel they're doing their part to help," says Thomas.
He says there's no set reward amount for most cases, but tips for homicides are at the top of the range.
"With homicides, those are the top of the scale, that's $2,000 automatically and the program pays on arrest not conviction, so therefore, there's no delay."
