Knabe Offers Reward To Help Catch Park Bench Thieves |
|
|
Supervisor Don Knabe has
matched a $1,000 reward that the City of Diamond Bar is offering for
information leading to the arrest and conviction of the individual(s)
responsible for the theft of two dedicated park benches.
City officials hope that the now $2,000 reward will lead detectives
from the Walnut/Diamond Bar Sheriff’s Station to the person(s) who
took the two six-foot steel benches bearing memorial plaques for
former Diamond Bar Councilmember Bob Zirbes and former City employee
Steve Tamaya.
It is believed the benches, previously located on the Sycamore
Canyon Park trailhead near Diamond Bar Boulevard, were taken
sometime between late Friday, February 6 and early Saturday,
February 7. Anyone with information about the incident is asked to
contact Detective Sergeant Preston Harris at (909) 595-2264. The
identity of all callers will remain confidential.
