Nelly Offering $10,000 Incentive To Snitches

St. Louis rapper Nelly has teamed up with crime-solving organization CrimeStoppers to solicit information leading to the arrest of the man who broke into his Missouri home earlier this month. The informant would receive $10,000 from the rapper as well as a monetary reward from CrimeStoppers, according to the announcement made on their website on Monday (December 28th).

Reports say a black male in this 20s or early 30s with a mustache and glasses forced his way through a locked window at Nelly's suburban St. Louis home in the early hours of December 11th and escaped with a duffel bag full of electronics and other items. Police searched for the suspect in a nearby wooded area using search dogs and a helicopter, but he had already left the scene.

The house was occupied by three people at the time of the burglary, none of which were Nelly. The rapper is currently busy in the studio working on his six studio album, Let's Get It, a follow up to the disappointing Brass Knuckles, which is his first album to not reach platinum status. He recently revealed that he expects the album to come out in the first quarter of 2010 and it will feature the return of the St. Lunatics. SOURCE
