Just a heads up for anyone fishing the Lower Illinois in the near future. There's been a big rash of vehicle break ins lately. About a half dozen windows busted out in the Watts parking area in the last couple of weeks and 2 more today at the lower lot below the dam. You might want to just avoid the place until they catch this dip$#!+.

Sounds like a crack head looking for something to make some quick money. I bet almost all of the vehicles had tinted windows that made it hard to look inside.

No, luckily not mine. As greenman stated, most had tinted windows and/or visible extra gear, purses, valuables, etc. Hope they catch them soon.

Does anyone have an update on this situation? Thanks- Ken Road-blocks have been set up both near the Watts area and near the dam off and on for the last few weeks. No arrests to my knowledge, but the perps seem to have gotten word that they're being sought after because the break-ins seem to have stopped (at least for the time being).

Could be looking for firearms. We have a problem with a certain foreign demographic breaking into peoples cars looking for firearms here in longview. Ignoring things like cash even. Keep your firearms in a safe place!
