Reward offered for tips leading to stolen vintage car

The Bibb County Sheriff's Office is looking for a newly restored 1975 Caprice convertible that was stolen last month and has recently been spotted several times near Mercer University Drive, according to the sheriff's office's Facebook page.

The convertible was stolen from Youmans Chevrolet in late February and, since then, the sheriff's office received several tips from people who spotted the baby blue car.

The dealership is offering a $2,500 reward for information regarding the whereabouts of the car.

Anyone with information about the theft is asked to call the sheriff's office at 751-7500 or call Macon Regional Crimestoppers at 877-68-CRIME.
