Authorities Intensify Search for Two Suspects in 'Archeological Theft' at US National Park

police are still looking for two people they say stole “archeological items” from a national park in Utah, even though they asked the public for help two days ago.

A statement from the National Park Service released on Wednesday said that the incident happened on March 23 at 5:30 p.m. at the Cave Spring Cowboy Camp in the Needles district of Canyonlands National Park in Moab, Utah. Security cameras caught two people entering “a signed-as-closed area, removing artifacts from a cabinet, and handling historic harnesses in a manner that had the potential to damage them.”

But even though they have been searched for weeks and their plea has been made public for two days, the suspects have still not been identified.

The government said, “National parks are some of the most unique, loved, and protected places in our country.” “To protect their natural and cultural resources for present and future generations, all visitors to national parks are expected to follow park rules and laws and follow the Leave No Trace philosophy to have as little effect on park lands as possible.”

“Please call the police if you know anything that could help them find the suspects.” “Tips can be kept secret,” the National Park Service said. “You can text or call the National Park Service Tip Line at 888-653-0009 to leave a message.
