The Iberia Crime Stoppers is holding their annual online auction August 26^th 2022 through September 21^st, 2022. The funds raised from this event fund the anonymous rewards given to individuals providing tips that lead to an arrest. They are actively looking for additional items to auction off during our annual event. This is an online auction platform (Bidding for Good), so the potential exposure is tremendous. If you have an item to donate, please contact Rob Cowan @ 337-256-3625 or [email protected]
