MINNEAPOLIS -- A family is offering a reward for the safe return of an antique bell more than a century old and the apprehension of those responsible, reports CBS Minnesota.
West Hennepin police say that the Blymyer Norton cast steel school bell was taken from a home near Lake Sarah late February. Now, a $500 reward is being offered by the Spencer family for information, according to the station.
