The local crime-fighting agency turns 25 this year.

The tips also led to the arrest of 67-people and 133-charges laid.
Since its inception, the local Crimestoppers chapter has recovered just over a million dollars in stolen property and has been responsible for the seizure of almost $7-million in drugs.
