Calling all crime stoppers. Nelly is offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the man who broke into his suburban St. Louis mansion earlier this month. The rapper's home was broken by a duffle bag-stuffing bandit, who police say is a male in his 20s or 30s. Nelly, whose real name is Cornell Haynes Jr., was not home at the time. According to reports, the intruder entered the home at 7 a.m. and grabbed the rapper's video games and assorted electronics before being scared off by one of three guests staying at the house.

Someone forced his way through a locked window at Nelly's Wildwood home in the early hours of Dec. 11 and got away with a duffel bag full of items that included electronics and other goods. No one was injured.

After being confronted, the burglar -- with his bag of Nelly's stuff -- ran down the property's driveway and reportedly sped off in a waiting SUV.

There was no physical confrontation between the robber and house-guest, St. Louis county police spokesman Rick Eckhard said.

According to TMZ, the witnesses staying at Nelly's house describe the intruder as "an older man with glasses and a mustache."
