Although police say there has been a lull in the reported “smash and grab” thefts at the local fitness centers, including the Salem Athletic Club and Planet Fitness as reported on Tuesday, March 31, it doesn’t mean it won’t happen again.

Petty thieves do have to fence or sell the stolen goods, and they may brag about their ill-gotten gains, so for those who keep their eyes and ears open, there might be an opportunity for you to gain information about these thieves that you could pass on to the Crimeline of Southern New Hampshire at 893-6600 or (800) 498-4040 or online at www. crimelinesnh.com.

Your anonymity will be protected whether you use the phone or the Internet. There is a form on the Web page that will protect your anonymity. Callers will be given a secret Crimeline number, known only to the caller and Crimeline. If the information provided leads to an arrest, Crimeline will pay up to a $1,000 cash reward.
