Westfield Police Investigating Graffiti on Banner at Catholic Church
September 21, 2024

On behalf of the Westfield Knights of Columbus, Union County Crime Stoppers is offering a cash reward of $1,000, for information that leads to the identification and charges filed against the person or persons responsible for defacing a “Choose Life” banner displayed at the Holy Trinity Roman Catholic Church located at 315 First Street in Westfield.

The damage was reported to the Westfield Police Department on Saturday, September 21, 2024, but appears to have occurred during the previous day’s overnight hours.  Union County Crime Stoppers is a volunteer organization dedicated to encouraging residents to come forward and share information about criminal activity.  It works closely with all local Union County law enforcement agencies, as well as the Union County Prosecutor’s Office and Union County Police Chiefs Association.

Tipsters may anonymously call the Union County Crime Stoppers’ 24-hour hotline number at 908-654-TIPS (8477) or submit an online form through the Union County Crime Stoppers website, www.uctip.org.  Phone calls to 908-654-TIPS (8477) are handled through a designated phone that does not provide caller identification, and conversations are not recorded.
