Montague, Calif. — The Siskiyou County Sheriff’s Office reported Monday, June 11, that it is investigating a felony plane vandalism and possible attempted plane theft at the Montague-Yreka Airport.
According to a Sheriff’s Office press release, deputies responded early Monday morning to a report of vandalism at the airport and found two planes had been damaged.
An initial investigation found that one of the planes had been started and then crashed into the other plane, according to the release. Deputies also found that two other planes had been vandalized.
A nearby hangar was also entered, leading to investigation of a burglary and theft, the press release states.
The Sheriff’s Office report says initial damage estimates are approximately $250,000.
“Due to the magnitude of the crime, size of the crime scene, and limited departmental resources, crime scene processing and analysis was requested and ultimately conducted by the California Department of Justice (Redding Crime Lab),” according to the Sheriff’s Office release. “The California Highway Patrol assisted by completing a comprehensive crime scene sketch. The Federal Bureau of Investigation was also notified and responded to the scene to assist the Sheriff’s Office, since federal offense(s) may have been committed by the perpetrators.”
The Sheriff’s Office says it is requesting Secret Witness funds for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the suspects. Citizens with information about this incident are urged to contact Detective Jeff Moser of the Siskiyou County Sheriff’s Office at (530) 842-8764 or SOS dispatch at (530) 841-2900 24 hours a day.
