Cumberland Valley Crime Stoppers is offering a $500 reward for information leading to the arrest of the man who robbed Ona Whim Antiques and Collectables in Corbin on March 29 and beat the owner, Nancy Chandler.

According to police, the robber is described as 6’2", heavy set, with short dark hair. He was wearing glasses, a dark sweater and white T-shirt.
