NARRATIVE:

REPORTING OFFICER: REVIEWING OFFICER:

Deputy P. R. Murphy 4A147

1. On 07-05-08 at approximately 1800 hours I was randomly patrolling the Gulf Rd. and Henry Rd.area of Cherry Point, a suspected smuggling area. While there, I discovered what appeared to be afreshly cut trail into what I believe is a vacant and heavily wooded area of refinery property. Thelocation is the west side of the road, approximately halfway between Henry Rd. and Gulf Rd., onPowder Plant Rd. The trail appeared to be freshly cut and a result of considerable effort.

Deputies Bonsen (4A161) and Van Loo (4A166) later accompanied me on a area check into thewooded area, on the trail, in attempt to determine the purpose of the trail. We discovered that thetrail went in roughly north westerly and terminated at a swampy creek bed/ravine, approximately ¼mile from Powder Plant Rd. The area is mostly a swampy area of heavy ground vegetation andforestation. The heavily treed canopy also opens somewhat in that area. We did find several markersalong the path made from florescent streamer tape. As we did not identify a purpose for the trail, weleft the area at that time.

I was in that same area on 07-08-08 doing an area check and located 2 more of these trails not farfrom the first one. While I was there, I happened upon a refinery security patrol and flagged down(C1) Shane Walls. I asked Shane about the trails and he told me that me that they had alsodiscovered the trails, around 6-8 total, but that they also had not identified the purpose of them. Iasked Shane if he thought they could be for geological, survey or pipeline related purposes and hetold me that they weren’t yet sure, but that he was confident they weren’t. Shane also told me thatno personnel from the large area plants knew why the trails were made either.

Shane added that they’d found 1 trail that terminates just short of the US Coast Guard station, offCherry Point, and speculated that perhaps it may have been intended as a back access to that areafor reasons unknown at this time. Shane told me that their security office has already notified therefineries and aluminum plant and that DHS has also been advised of the discovery by USCGpersonnel as well. The purpose of the trails is not known at this time, but their existence should benoted and monitored by random patrols through the area.

No further action was taken and this report is for information only.
