INDEPENDENCE — Thanks to a concerned visitor at Manzanar National Historic Site last weekend,лучшие порнография клипы law enforcement authorities were able to apprehend an individual using a metal detector and shovel inside the park boundary.
It is a federal crime to dig for artifacts, use a metal detector, or take any items from the ground in Manzanar National Historic Site.
Shortly before 4 p.m. on Saturday, April 13, a visitor stopped at the front desk and reported seeing an individual with a metal detector. The visitor was able to describe the suspect’s car and give the license plate.
Manzanar rangers called the Inyo County Sheriff’s Department, and within minutes a sheriff’s deputy and a California Department of Fish and Wildlife warden arrived and detained the suspect. Law enforcement rangers from Death Valley National Park were called to investigate. The suspect faces possible criminal charges.
Manzanar Superintendent Bernadette Johnson expressed gratitude to the visitor and law enforcement, whose actions helped deter damage to the site and loss of valuable cultural history. “Manzanar staff members take our responsibility to protect historic resources seriously,” she said. “And it is great to see that the public does as well.”
