Douglas County Secret Witness is offering $1,000 and $500 rewards for information in two crimes.

A $1,000 reward is being offered for information leading to arrests in an April 6 burglary in the Gardnerville Ranchos in which thieves are accused of stealing rock 'n' roll memorabilia worth $8,000.

The suspects are described as a white female who uses the first name "Val" and a white male.

Numerous items were taken including shadow boxes containing autographed photos, guitar picks and ticket stubs from performances by ZZ Top, Ted Nugent, KISS, Van Halen and Motley Crüe.

A $500 reward is being offered for information in a June 20 burglary at Pau-Wa-Lu Middle school.

Two white male juveniles and a white female juvenile were videotaped entering numerous rooms at the school and taking candy and soft drinks.
