A bridge too far
[WashingtonExaminer] Police say 63-year-old man stole entire bridge
Someone "craned" for attention in stealing a bridge from a local park.
According to police in Akron, Ohio, that person is 63-year-old David Bramley, arrested Friday on charges of felony theft.
"Detectives discovered that Bramley, who formally worked in the Akron area, paid a local trucking company for a crane service. The crane was later used to place the bridge on and off a vehicle that transported it to the Medina County property," said the Akron Police Department in a press statement.
The bridge in question was 58 feet long, 10 feet wide, and 6 feet high. Local officials reported that the bridge had suddenly disappeared without notice in mid-December and asked for tips or information about the thieves.
Those tips allowed police to identify Bramley as a suspect. Upon investigating his property, police said they found the bridge partially disassembled. Bramley has not commented on whether he committed the crime.
