Department of Natural Resources officials are investigating recent car burglaries at the Weldon Access Area of Clinton Lake.
On the WHOW Morning Show Thursday, DNR Conservation Police Captain John Williamson told Regional Radio the burglaries have been uncommon in that the perpetrators smashed in vehicle windows to gain access.
According to Capt. Williamson, they have been checking in with colleagues at other agencies and they are seeing similar trends. What's standing out is these crimes are happening in more remote places.
Authorities do not believe the crimes happening at Clinton Lake are connected to crimes in other areas. Capt. Williamson notes they have put some cameras up in those areas and they do have car cameras from other vehicles they've been able to access.
Capt. Williamson implores anyone headed to the lake to make sure any valuables are put out of site.
