People who may have vandalized rocks in Grand Canyon National Park/NPS Investigative Services Branch

National Park Service authorities are looking for a couple in connection with vandalism in Grand Canyon National Park.

Investigative Services Branch agents and Grand Canyon rangers are seeking information about two people who may have vandalized rocks near the Yavapai Geology Museum.

On May 22, 2016, a visitor at the South Rim of the park observed a couple spray painting graffiti, and was able to capture images of the people and the vandalism, according to a park release. After painting "Evans 16" on a rock feature, the couple left before park rangers could contact them.

If you were in the park that day and may have seen these people, or if you recognize them from the image, you should contact the Investigative Services Branch. You can do so anonymously. You can:

* Call the Tip Line at 888-653-0009

* Send them an online tip

* Email the branch

* Send agents a message on Facebook

 Dirtbags but you know that the courts will let them go with a slap on the wrist like they did in Goblin Valley! We need more conscientious justices!


Catch them, prosecute them, convict them, incarcerate them, and let them rot in prison. 


Please increase punishment for vandalism. 


Really, they did not murder someone. I DO NOT condone what they did and they should have to return and clean up their vandalism, do community service (real community service) and donate money to the park clean up fund. I believe that is fair justice.


Donate?  More like a $10,000 desecration fine! Put some teeth into vandalism of our National Parks!


Well you know his last name is Evans.


They should have to hike their fat arse to the bottom and pick up trash that people throw in the toilets, in the middle of summer. Pathetic that people have such disregard for places that are deeply enjoyed by others.

 


Yes they should clean it up and pay a fine to the Park Service f for Park Maintenance forever.   They probably posted a picture on their Facebook page
