Rewards from Van Zandt County Crime Stoppers
Posted/updated on: January 26, 2016 at 1:09 pmCANTON – The Van Zandt County Crime Stoppers program continues handing out cash rewards for crime-fighting tips. They’ve approved over $7,500 in recent awards, the bulk of that over the past 8 weeks. Spokesman Kevin Tanzillo says they paid out $1,000 for a tip that led to the arrest of a man and a woman in connection with a case of arson, burglaries, drugs and child endangerment. Tanzillo says they can trace their success to more visibility and a new Crime Stoppers coordinator, who is also a deputy in the Van Zandt County Sheriff’s Office, has done diligent work to track down older tips that had been previously overlooked.
