TIPS

Chief of Police Lawrence Mahuna urges members of the public when using the new hotline telephone numbers, saying that no matter how "small" a bit of information might be to the caller, it may provide detectives with the "missing Link" they need to take action.

If a caller wants to leave his name and telephone number with the hotline, a vice officer will call him back as soon as possible.

Police said callers should be as specific as possible and provide the following information:

• Location of the incident
• Street address of building or house
• Description of location (nearest intersecting streets and landmarks near or at the scene)
• Description of vehicles involved, such as make, model, color and license plate
• Description of persons involved, such as height, sex, age, weight, clothing and hair color.
