Brothers charged with stealing US bridge




NEW CASTLE, Pennsylvania (AP) — Two brothers have been charged with stealing a western Pennsylvania bridge and selling the 15 1/2 tons of scrap metal for more than $5,000.

Police say 24-year-old Benjamin Arthur Jones and 25-year-old Alexander Williams Jones of New Castle used a blowtorch to break up the bridge in late September or early October. They face felony charges of criminal mischief, theft, receiving stolen property and conspiracy.

Authorities say Alexander Jones told a recycling company employee that he had permission to carve the bridge for scrap and showed the employee cellphone photos of the bridge. The recycling company called police.

The 50-foot (15-meter)-long by 20-foot (6-meter)-wide Covert's Crossing Bridge was in a wooded area about 60 miles (100 kilometers) north of Pittsburgh.

The brothers' phone numbers weren't listed, and it's unclear whether they have attorneys.

i love how folks try to act surprised about stuff like this. when working people can't find work, they start doing petty crimes. bad as we've been fucked by our various branches of government, i'd actually call this reparations rather than theft. now if i was driving on it at the time, that's be a different animal altogether.

...not a surprise to me...i actually can't wait for more shit like this to go down

.....this whole fukin world needs a damn wake up call, and robbing entire bridges is a good ass start.

"repirations"...a far stretch,but i see the angle.

it gets down to a shallow depth tho...

Shit man I aint surprised at all,well maybe a little since it was a BRIDGE! Man, folks are getting desperate........or the lazy scumbags not willing to work for a living are getting more creative.I would think if you can afford a nice plasma cutter,BTW you also need an air compressor to run one,also portable power to power both,you could have one heck of a grow room with that $$$. WTF!!! They needed a better money making plan.

if they weren't "desperate" they could have pulled that off...

they got it to the point of getting the thing to the 'cycler (thats fukin' skill).

....just one little check that they missed.

my guess is that someone knew about this, and plotted it from a jail cell.

i don't know what these guys' deal was, but in a broader sense, it sems like people are maybe starting to wake up to the fact that we can't just go throw a switch on a ballot box every few years, count on some crook to do what's in our best interest, and consider our civic duty done. DIY motherfuckers!

occupy everything.

 

[avant gardener]

Them motherfuckers some go getters ! Rippers got me for an 1kw cool tube an some new genetics last week , So I have nothing good to say about theives . Ambition and a mind is a terrible thing to waist .

I thought rippers was a term for outdoor thieves

as in ripping the plants away

 

[usda101]

My bad didnt mean to use that terms robbers .

 

[igrowone]

i got to thinking about the finer details of this
i've never taken apart a bridge, but i got to think that could be more than a little dangerous
bridge collapse while you're doing it seems possible
so i'd think they must have had some experience, and were pretty skilled, at least in steel cutting and the like
which shows how f'd the economy is, these guys have some skills

Fuck those thieves. I hope they get ass raped in jail.
The only good thief is a dead one.
