The National Park Service (NPS) is seeking the public's help in locating a couple who allegedly stole artifacts from Canyonland National Park in Utah.
In a news release, the agency said that on March 23, the pair entered the Cave Spring Cowboy Camp in the Needles district of the park and entered an enclosed area of the camp to remove artifacts from a cabinet.
The NPS said the pair “handled historic harnesses in a manner likely to damage them.”
