December a busy month for Crimestoppers

December was a bumper month for the Crimestoppers program in northwestern Ontario
and northern Minnesota.

Figures released for 2010 show that last month, over 42 thousand dollars in stolen property
was recovered, and 96 thousand dollars in drugs were seized.

Crimestoppers also approved 45 hundred dollars in tips, which is about a third of the money
paid out in 2010.

The busiest month in 2010 for Crimestoppers was May, with 220 thousand dollars in property
and drugs seized.
