Thieves Steal Bridge In Russia

January 8, 2008 1:03 p.m. EST

Khabarovsk, Russia (AHN) - A 38-foot bridge weighing 200 tons in Khabarovsk disappeared overnight after scrap metal thieves were able to dismantle without anyone noticing.
Local authorities say the bridge was the only road leading to a heating plant.
Company officials were furious saying replacing the bridge would cost 10 times the value the scrap metal from the stolen bridge could fetch.
To avoid similar incident from occurring in the future, the company decide to replace it with a concrete bridge.

Thieves steal bridge in Ukraine

Thieves in western Ukraine have dismantled and stolen an 11m steel bridge over the river Svalyavka.
Police blame locals, saying it would have been impossible to take the bridge apart without a crane and a lorry - or to take it away unnoticed.

Metal theft is a problem in Ukraine, where people steal statues, wires and sewage hatches to sell as scrap.

Officials are now checking all scrap metal yards in the region to find the remains of the one-tonne bridge.

Meanwhile, the residents of several villages along the river have to find another way of reaching their local town, Svalyava.
