May results announced

Posted on 24/06/2019

It was another busy month for Crime Stoppers, with more than 2200 online reports and calls made to the program for a range of crimes.

People shared what they knew about drug dealing and firearms in their community, as well as providing information about an assault of a female at Oaklands Recreation Plaza, a shooting incident at Yatala Prison, a home invasion at Edwardstown, recent robberies at a Bolivar pub and a Reynella winery and an assault in the city.

Amongst the 37 apprehensions for the month, 9 men and 5 women were charged with a range of serious offences, including trafficking of a controlled drug, unlawful possession and breach of bail conditions.

During May our weekly crime segments on 9News Adelaide asked for help to identify a man wanted for an aggravated robbery and illegal use of a motor vehicle at Torrensville, a man caught on CCTV that allegedly assaulted a bus driver at Elizabeth Grove, and a woman captured on camera who used pepper spray on a loss prevention officer after taking items from Coles at Port Adelaide. We also asked for a man to contact Crime Stoppers, after being seen on CCTV attending the home of Kilburn grandmother Maria Luis on the day she was murdered.
