PHOENIX - A Valley man is offering a reward to find the crooks that burglarized his home.
"I wanted to catch them so bad," said Darryl Harroun who lives south of the Arcadia neighborhood. It's an area hit hard by crime the past few years.
"All I could think of, other than security cameras and motion lights, was this reward," Harroun said.
The sign sits in Harroun's front yard. It says he is offering $5,000 to anyone with information that leads to an arrest of the burglars who hit his home. It happened on Christman Eve. The crooks cleaned him out to the tune of $30,000.
"They took TVs, computers, my guns," Harroun said.
Harroun filed a police report but nothing happened. And he knows that most everyone of his neighbors has been hit too. So he decided on the sign.
"I just hope that one of them will turn in the other for the reward money," he said.
So far Harroun hasn't had any calls, but he's still holding out hope. In the meantime he has a message in case the crooks happen to read this story.
"I have replaced my guns," he says with a chuckle.
