CLARK COUNTY, (WTWO/WAWV) — An investigation is ongoing after police found multiple trees had been cut down from a property in Clark County and drug to a neighboring house.
According to the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (DNR), conservation police responded to a home on U.S. 40 near Dennison, Thursday afternoon, after a resident reported a possible timber theft from their property.
