BILLINGS Since the start of the year, six separate incidents involving theft have occurred between Lake Elmo State Park and various fishing access sites near Billings. No suspects have been identified, so Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks (FWP) is looking for help from the public to solve these crimes.
"So since the beginning of the year, January of 2023, we've had six instances where our latrine risers, so that includes the pedestal, the seat, and the lid, have been stolen from Lake Elmo and a number of fishing access sites just a little way east of Billings," said Chrissy Webb, the communication and education manager for FWP Region 5, on Wednesday. "It obviously causes a big inconvenience to users of those sites."
Webb said some sites have been hit more than once.
