Thieves steal 50-foot bridge in Western Pa.
(CBS/KDKA/AP) NEW CASTLE, Pa. - State police say thieves have snuck away with a 50-foot steel bridge.
Trooper Darren Vizyak says in a report filed Wednesday that the bridge in North Beaver Township was stolen sometime between Sept. 27th and Oct. 5th.
According to CBS affiliate KDKA, the 20-foot wide bridge was in a wooded area along a railroad line, about 60 miles north of Pittsburgh.
Police say it was made out of corrugated steel and valued at approximately $100,000. The thieves used a blowtorch to cut the bridge apart. They presumably aim to sell it for scrap metal.
