Issues requiring the response of law enforcement are rarely in short supply at Clinton Lake but this year the Illinois Department of Natural Resources says many of their responses are not on the water.

On the WHOW Morning Show Tuesday, DNR Conservation Police Capt. John Williamson indicates vehicles are being burglarized at recreation areas all over the State this summer.

According to Capt. Williamson, DNR has also seen an uptick in response to domestic situations at the campgrounds. He says this is unfortunate because it can quickly ruin the experience of campers around those individuals.

While Clinton Lake has been spared of major incidents so far this year, Capt. Williamson indicates other areas of Illinois have not been so fortunate and it is a reminder to boat safely.

As for the burglaries to motor vehicles at Clinton Lake, Capt. Williamson says they are working with Decatur PD, Bloomington PD, and fewer smaller departments as they track down suspects in hopes of making arrests in those cases.
