Support Local Crime Stoppers

Crime Stoppers encourages members of the community to assist local law enforcement agencies in the fight against crime by overcoming the two key elements that inhibit community involvement: fear and apathy.

Crime Stoppers provides a telephone number and Web Tips to encourage citizens in the community to volunteer vital information helpful to law enforcement agencies to fight against crime. Callers remain anonymous and are eligible to recieve a cash reward if the information given leads to an arrest or grand jury indictment of a felony offender.

Crime Stoppers relies on volunteer Directors and tax deductible contributions from the public. Anyone interested in volunteering a couple of hours the first Monday of each month or making a tax deductable contribution may contact your local CrimeStoppers at bccs@fnbnet.net or call 597-0206. Learn more by visiting the Bee County Crime Stoppers website.

A Warning to the Wise

Reeys Falcon informs the Signal that he recently had several items stolen from his home including a camera, family heirlooms, and other expensive items. "I didn't miss my camera until I started packing early November for my trip to Chicago," said Mr. Falcon. "The other things I discovered missing after my return."

Mr. Falcon plans to file a report with the Sheriff's office and wishes to warn other Skidmore residents that, even in our small community, there are those who wish to take advantage of the trust of others - especially the elderly. Said Mr. Falcon, "Since I came to Skidmore I have always felt so very safe and have never lost even a blade of grass. Then I try to be kind to someone in need and give them work, and this happened. It is totally bewildering."

If you have knowledge of this, or any other crime, please call Bee County Crime Stoppers at 597-0206. All calls are strictly confidential and you may receive a reward for information leading to a conviction.

Locker Room Thefts Reflect Poorly on Community

Another Skidmore Area Highway Drug Bust

Skidmore roads continue to serve as a dead end to not-so-sharp drug traffickers. The latest criminal to pass through with a half ton of marijuana didn't get stopped for behaving suspiciously - he simply had an expired registration sticker. The Victoria Advocate reports DPS seizes 633 pounds of marijuana.
