[1]

Two men stole a bridge in southwest Poland and sold it for scrap, police said on Monday.

The bridge, used by a local mine, was sawn up into several sections and taken to a scrap metal recycling point in a truck.

The thieves were apprehended by accident. They were making the last 'run' when their truck broke down.

Mine security officers spotted a suspicious truck standing by the roadside and called the police.

It was not clear how they failed to spot the bridge dismantling operation.
