(CNN) - Interior Secretary Doug Burgum said seven people have been arrested in connection with vandalism at the Reflecting Pool.
Burgum said Saturday in an interview with Fox News that there have been 18 police reports and other citations related to vandalism.
In one instance, a top National Park Service official said the liner of the pool had been cut with a sharp knife or razor, causing damage to the foam sealant.
Burgum did not say whether charges had been filed against those arrested, but he said they would be prosecuted.
A fence went up in recent days around the Reflecting Pool amid reports of vandalism.
