ST. GEORGE, Utah — The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Law Enforcement and Mohave County Sheriff’s Office are seeking information regarding those responsible for the vandalism of a grazing allotment boundary fence on the Arizona Strip near Colorado City, AZ. The boundary fence, located within Short Creek Wash, was damaged and the corner bracing pushed over. The fence, which took the rancher 5 days to complete was vandalized the day after completion. The fence allows for livestock management within the allotment and neighboring allotments. Damage to these types of improvements results in the loss of livestock, monetary damages, and countless hours invested in repair and searching for loose livestock. We appreciate the public’s assistance in helping resolve this case of vandalism.
