Wyoming Police are urging residents to report any captures of invasive carp to the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) immediately after multiple incidents of dead carp being dumped at various locations. The police have taken to social media in a humorous attempt to gather tips about the situation. Dumping invasive carp is considered littering, and can result in a $150 fine. The DNR has been working to slow the spread of the invasive species since the early 2000s. Anglers are required to report carp captures and can obtain a special permit to keep them for personal use. Police Chief Neil Bauer emphasized the importance of responsible disposal of carp and encouraged community members to report any suspicious activity. The police department can be contacted at the non-emergency line 651-257-4100 for any information related to the carp dumping incidents. Chief Bauer stressed the need to protect local lakes as popular fishing spots and ensure they remain clean for all to enjoy. The investigation is ongoing, and authorities are seeking information from the public to address this issue effectively.
