CrimeStoppers robbery reward?

What's the deal in Woodstock?

A robber knocks off the Shell station on Madison and hoofs it south on Madison Street. The Northwest Herald tells us about it. A press release buried on the City of Woodstock website (down far too many "clicks") informs anyone "with information" to call CrimeStoppers at 800-762-7867 but does not mention a reward.

Does any tip to CrimeStoppers that results in an arrest and conviction qualify for a reward? Rewards are often advertised as $1,000, but they are really only "up to $1,000".

Or does CrimeStoppers have to announce a reward first?

Are there any Wanted posters out for the male (white, black, Hispanic, or ???), 6', 200 pounds, wearing black shirt, long-sleeved sweatshirt (color?), black pants?

Come on, folks! Facial hair? Glasses (or not)? Hat? Hoodie? Was the shirt worn over the sweatshirt? Mask? What kind of gun? Pistol? Automatic? Right-handed or left-handed? Did he run out with a "fistful of dollars" or did he have a bag?

Is there a videotape of the robbery?

Shouldn't that be "pistol or revolver"? The "automatic part is either completely wrong or redundant.
