Police on the lookout for thieves who stole entire 58-foot bridge

Authorities in Ohio are seeking information regarding the whereabouts of a 58-foot long pedestrian bridge that was stolen in several phases in November.

“Someone in the viewing area has access to some information that we need and this is the ‘whodunit’ where we really need the community’s help to point us in the right direction to find the people responsible for removing that bridge,” Akron Police Lt. Mike Miller told FOX 8.

The theft occurred after the $40,000 bridge had been relocated from its original location to a holding site while officials decided how they could repurpose it, FOX 8 reported. But then thieves began disassembling the structure over a series of days beginning Nov. 3 and it was completely gone by Nov. 11.

Yet authorities, who concluded the bridge would be easy to take apart with the proper equipment, are unsure what the bandits plan to do with the structure as they doubt it has any recycling value.

Instead of trying to catch the people who burned the bridges.


Err I mean... "Stole."

This exemplifies the can-do American spirit. If there's a mountain, we will climb it. If there's a river, we will ford it, given the proper supplies. And if we don't have the proper supplies, we will find them!!
