4-wheelers damage fencing at new mine

Authorities are investigating vandalism at the eastern Franklin County location where a new coal mine is under construction.

The Franklin County Sheriff’s Department was called to the area off 11351 North Thompsonville Road Monday morning by officials of M Class Mining, who are building the Sugar Camp No. 1 mine.

Investigator John Graskewicz said it appeared that several 4-wheelers had come onto the property from its western boundary and damaged approximately 80 yards of fencing. He said damage was estimated at $1,000.

“We’ve got suspects and anticipate arrests being made,” Graskewicz said.

Debris left in the area indicated the group had a party that included cutting up several large bass. Fish remains were found.

Other evidence was also found at the scene, Graskewicz said.
