You need to text "Tip708" at the beginning of your text message. The 708 just tells the national server that receives the message & strips the sender's information that the tip is for the Wilmington PD. The tip itself needs to be sent to 274637 (CRIMES).
Check out the city's website at wilmingtonnc.gov for more information.
