Man steals bridge

MOSCOW: An enterprising 45-year-old truck driver has been arrested and charged with stealing a small bridge spanning a river southeast of Moscow, police said.   

It was "the bulkiest theft of the year," police in the Ryazan region said in a statement posted on their website on Thursday.   

The man, who was not named, used his company vehicle to cart away the five-meter (16-foot) metal bridge, which he then chopped up and sold as scrap, the statement said.
