Five face masks, valued at about SSO each, were stolen from a residence which the Griffin-Spalding County Jaycees were planning to use for their Haunted House, Halloween night. Police said someone entered the 417 West Poplar street house and stole a number of items, including the masks, two black lights, an amber flashing light and assorted decorations. Their total value was about $450. Today the Jaycees offered a SIOO reward for the return of the equipment. Anyone with any information about the missing items may call President Theo Pinkston or Tyndal McMillan of the Jaycees. Jerome Maddox, 18, of 207 Kelsey street, was arrested Tuesday on a warrant charging him with auto theft.

The agency issued a report analyzing the impact of 12 so called Sting operations financed by LEAA in eight cities. In a typical Sting, police and federal agents go undercover to operate a storefront fencing business. They purchase stolen goods while secretly gathering evidence against the thieves. After several months of run ning the operation, police make arrests and announce what they’ve been up to. .MAD/L47 Harvest of Values Storewide Savings! Every Item! Anything!

Police said the auto was wrecked in Clayton County and Maddox was apprehended by Clayton County Police shortly afterwards. He was being held in the Clayton County jail for Griffin police. Billie Mae Wiggs, 819 West Wall street, reported the theft or loss of a letter authorizing her to receive food stamps, valued at $94. Anyone finding the letter was asked to return it to the police department or to Mrs. Wiggs. Three juveniles were arrested Tuesday for burglarizing the home of Mrs. Willie Mae Johnson, 613 East Broadway. Police said they entered the house, but apparently did not take anything. Debra Elliott, 1127 Thompson street, reported the theft of a bicycle from her residence. LEAA has spent $1.5 million to provide “buy money” for more than 30 Sting projects, which got their names from a popular movie. Some critics have suggested that the undercover officers’ willingness to purchase stolen property has encouraged some people to steal when they would not otherwise have done so. But James Gregg, acting. LEAA administrator, said he hopes the new report “will lay such unfounded charges to rest.” The report was prepared by the Westinghouse Corp.’s Na tional Issues Center with a $19,- 000 LEAA grant.
