Amistad National Recreation Area (TX)
Significant Burglary and Theft
The manager of Amistad Lake Marina/Forever Resorts, one of the park's
concessions, has reported the burglary and theft of approximately
$30,000 in equipment from their storage yard and maintenance facility.
The theft was discovered on Wednesday, April 13, 2005, and reported the
following day, after the manager returned from a out of town trip.
The facility had inadequate security, which contributed to the ease in
breaking into the building. Better security locks have now been put
in place. Missing are outboard boat motors, motor parts, electrical
generators, and a boat trailer. The investigation is continuing in
cooperation with the Val Verde County Sheriff's Office.

Three Car
Accident with Injuries and Fatality
On the afternoon of April 18th, Park Police officers were notified of a
three-car accident on the parkway near Wellington Road. Numerous units
responded. A Chevrolet SUV occupied by two adults and an infant was
heading south on the parkway when it crossed over the double yellow line
and collided with a Range Rover SUV and a four-door BMW in the
northbound lanes. Five people were taken to Fairfax Hospital — two
by Eagle 1, one by a Fairfax County PD helicopter, and two by ambulance.
Siham Arun, the female passenger in the Chevrolet SUV, subsequently
succumbed to her injuries. The remaining four victims were treated for
non-life-threatening injuries. [Submitted by Sgt. Scott Fear]
