Reward Offered to Catch Vandals of Historic Site
Federal officials frustrated by ongoing destruction at a historic cave site in northern Nevada announced a $1,000 reward to help catch the vandals.
The reward will go to anyone who provides information leading to the arrest and prosecution of those responsible for the vandalism at the Lovelock Cave recreation site southwest of Lovelock, Bureau of Land Management officials said.
Some 2,000-year-old duck decoys found in the cave are believed to be the oldest in the world, BLM archeologist Peggy McGuckian said.
Since May, vandals have damaged the large interpretive sign in the parking area, destroyed part of a trail and tried to burn down a new kiosk.
