The Georgia Department of Natural Resources is asking for the public’s help to identify multiple people in connection to criminal damage at the Burton Trout Hatchery. The hatchery is located off Highway 197 on Lake Burton, north of Clarkesville.
DNR’s Law Enforcement Division says the damage occurred on October 14.
Authorities said they would like to identify the individuals captured in surveillance images so they can question them. DNR released the surveillance photos on Thursday, along with a post on social media.
The Wildlife Resources Division of the Georgia DNR operates the hatchery, which raises trout to stock North Georgia streams. It is one of four trout hatcheries in the state, according to the DNR website.
Anyone with information regarding the identities or whereabouts of the individuals being sought is urged to call the DNR Investigative Unit at 770-918-6408.
