CANAL FULTON: City police are trying to figure out who was running an illegal still along an equestrian trail in the 900 block of Milan Street.
After being alerted by a resident who spotted the still, police on Friday afternoon seized about 30 gallons of suspected liquid being turned into moonshine, a propane tank, torch, copper tubing, ice, turkey fryer, buckets, thermometer and a large steel trash can.
Authorities confirmed that the items, some of which were being hidden in a hollowed out tree, were being used to make alcohol.
“We are taking this incident very seriously and hope to find the person(s) responsible due to the fact that the location made it very easy for a kid or group of kids to stumbled [sic] upon the still and consume the products,” police posted on their Facebook page.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Canal Fulton police at 330-854-2211.
