The Los Angeles Daily News reported yesterday that several rewards were offered for crimes that have been committed yet the criminal remains at large. Being unable to find one of the incidents, I decided to add one of the crimes using SpotCrime's "report a crime", a function that allows you to report crimes and once inputted will display on SpotCrime's interactive map (once you click "user reported" crimes). This is one of the ways we help citizens fight crime by allowing them disseminate information and report crimes themselves.
