Police baffled over theft of entire 58-ft high bridge in Ohio a month ago [View all]

Thieves in Ohio who stole an entire 58-foot bridge last month have left the police flabbergasted.

Officials said they “have not heard of anything that large stolen” ever in their careers.

The thieves dismantled a 58-foot bridge installed in a field near a creek in Akron, Ohio, and police later said that the entire structure disappeared from its original location.

The thieves dismantled the entire structure — which is 10-feet wide, six-feet high and with a span of 58-feet — and then took it away from the field.

The robbery of the bridge has cost the city about $40,000 and police are hoping that the local community members will come forward with information about the thieves.
