REDMOND, OR -- Prineville BLM officials are searching for the person or people responsible for vandalizing a fence west of Redmond. In September, someone systematically cut all four strands of the fence for almost a mile.

The fence served as a boundary marker between public and private land along Kingwood Avenue. It helped distinguish the edge of the Buckhorn Off Highway Vehicle Trail System and limit access to public lands for illegal dumping.

Anyone with information about the vandalism is asked to call the Prineville BLM office at 541-416-6700. The office will restring the wire when time and funds allow.
