Indiana Conservation Officers seek help in locating mobility track chairs stolen during recent break-ins at Fort Harrison State Park, with a $5,500 reward offered for information leading to the recovery of missing items.
The break-ins occurred between 9 p.m. on April 30 and 6 a.m. on May 1. Six Department of Natural Resources (DNR) buildings were forcibly entered and vandalized.
Several items were stolen, including two AXIS Model 30 track chairs, which are black and orange with large tracks for wheels. Track chairs are all-terrain, electric-powered wheelchairs that help people with limited mobility safely explore rugged, off-road environments. The chairs were recently purchased to expand access to the outdoors at all Indiana State Parks.
Two Vietnam War-era helmets were also stolen.
Investigators are actively following up on leads and request assistance from anyone who may have information related to the thefts. A $5,500 reward is available for information that leads to the recovery of the track chairs and the arrest of the offenders. The reward is offered jointly by a private donor ($5,000) and the Indiana Parks Alliance ($500).
Tips can be directed to the Indiana Conservation Officers (ICO) Dispatch Center at 812-837-9536 or emailed to ICODispatch@dnr.IN.gov.
