Rewards unclaimed EDMONTON (CP) — Each year banks, private com- panics and police forces offer. hundreds of thousands of dollars-for information concerning crimes but much of that money goes unclaimed. For instance, Loomis Security | in’ ‘Edmonton offered more - than $120,000 in three separate rewards for information leading to the conviction of: people Involved dn three + Edmonton armored truck robberies last year. ¥ The rewards expired a few weeks after they were issued. “T never paid a cent out on any of them,” said Loomis - security director: John Weller. There are exceptions. . . Since 192] the Canadian ‘Bankers Association’ 3 awards program has shelled out more than $1.7 million to citizens, . said deputy secretaryPeter Miller, _ ' Each year the association awards an averdge of $50,000 to aboul 100 part-time heroes, . rm “Any citizen in any part of Canada who' nissists towards the arrest and commission to trial of the accused in any ’ erime against a bankis entitled io claim a reward from us,” Miller said. The rewards tend to increase with the amount of risk . taken, Miller said. Ina 1981 Calgary bank robbery one customer grabbed : a robber who had. a concealed 12-gauge shotgun. During the scuffle tie gun discharged iito the ceiling but the customer | - held on and another citizen helped subdue the culprit. - related incident. ¢ The first customer was awarded $1,500 and the second $1,000. but if they're ‘brave enough to do ‘so ‘regardless, we recognize it."” Sometimes rewards. are paid just for information. ‘Three years ago an ‘Edmonton: citizen learned an- acquaintance was wanted for a number af offences, and ‘ went to the police,. e culprit was convicted of seven armed robberies. ‘He . went to jail and the lipster pocketed $1,000 for his efforts. Rewards . seeking information about a crime are generally last-ditch: efforts to crack a frustrating case. Police maintain there ts always someone who knows something vital to an investigation.
