Thank you M.O.V. for the support that you provide our law enforcement. When the officers see people clapping and waiving along the route, it is a great reminder that you stand with us. Thank you!

STOLEN | $2,500 REWARD - PLEASE SHARE



UPDATE: Resident from 2600 block of 14th ave in vienna reported: about 6:10am (WEDNESDAY 4/10/24) and heard a motor coming. it was a white one similar to yours but; too dark to tell. he did not have lights on and came around the apartments very fast, ran the stop sign there, ran the stop sign at 27th street, and then the stop sign at 28th street making a right turn. it sounded like it went toward jackson park.

From Me, - So this timeline is right - if this is my machine, it was driven away, not trailered, and is likely hidden somewhere in Vienna. Remember, any report that leads to a recovery is good for the reward. KEEP AN EYE OUT PLEASE! THANKS, JIM.

A 2019 Yamaha Wolverine X2 came up missing from my property in Vienna on April 8 or 9, 2024 close to the Rebel Convenience Store. and I have reason to believe it has been stolen. I am offering a $2,500 cash reward for information that leads to its recovery. THE REWARD IS FOR RECOVERY-PERIOD! YOU CAN REMAIN ANONYMOUS AND I WILL KEEP YOUR IDENTITY CONFIDENTIAL!!! This is a representative photo and not the exact machine but essentially identical. If you have any information, please contact me through Facebook or at 304-834-6234. Thank you.
