HENDERSON, Ky. (WEHT) – Evansville Police say one person was arrested after officers responded to reports of trespassing at the former site of the Morton Avenue Warehouse on Friday.
According to EPD, six people were found at the site around noon, including one person who was arrested for unrelated warrants. The rest of the alleged trespassers were told to leave and not come back.
EPD says the site has become a popular destination for scrappers and scavengers after the warehouse was damaged in a 2022 fire . People who live and work in the area tell Eyewitness News reporters they see people taking the rubble to sell.
