The Fort St. Joseph Archaeological Project is looking for the community’s help after having equipment stolen over the weekend.
They shared in a Facebook post that a trailer storing equipment was recently stolen from the Fort St. Joseph site located on the St. Joseph River in Niles.
They say the trailer and gate locks were cut and the trailer was taken through the site gate.
According to Leader Publications, the Niles Police Department is working to investigate, though the project is asking for donations as it works to acquire supplies needed for the start of field school in less than two weeks.
Material and monetary donations can be made to the Niles History Center during business hours, and the police department is encouraging anybody with information about the incident to come forward.
