"Two people in China were arrested after authorities said they caused “irreversible” damage to the country’s Great Wall.

Police followed tread marks to the location of the apparent excavator in question and arrested a 38-year-old man and a 55-year-old woman working at a nearby construction site. They are suspected of using the excavator to widen an already existing gap in the wall, destroying a strip of the ancient structure to create a shortcut, according to a statement from the Youyu County Public Security Bureau, CCTV reported."
