Quabbin Reservoir
BELCHERTOWN, Mass. —Police across the state of Massachusetts are increasing the number of routine checks of the state’s water supply facilities after a case of trespassing at Quabbin Reservoir.
Around 12:30 a.m. Tuesday, a state trooper discovered two vehicles parked on the grass at the reservoir. When he went to check the vehicles out, seven people — five men and two women – were walking from the reservoir toward the vehicles.
The men claimed to be chemical engineers and said they were recent college graduates. When asked why they were at the reservoir they said they wanted to see the Quabbin and cited their education and career interests. Checks were done and nothing suspicious came back.
Police also determined there was no evidence the seven people were committing any crime beyond trespassing. They were summonsed to appear in court on trespassing charges.
The Commonwealth Fusion Center was notified. Preliminary investigation suggests the people are from Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Singapore.
Police reiterated that there was no evidence of terrorism or any crime beyond trespassing.
Further investigation is being undertaken because of the late hour when they were observed, their curious explanation for why they wanted to see the reservoir, and the fact that they were in an area marked no trespassing.
