Bramley was charged with felony theft and allegedly paid \u201ca local trucking company for a crane service,\u201d the Akron Police Department <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/AkronPoliceDepartment\/posts\/287957060035029\">posted<\/a> on Facebook. The crane placed the bridge on and off a vehicle that transported it to a property in Medina County.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFriday afternoon, around 2:45 p.m., a team of police officers converged on a property in Medina County and conducted a search warrant. During a search of the property, the bridge was found partially disassembled,\u201d police wrote.<\/p>\n<p>As The Daily Wire previously <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/ohio-police-are-looking-for-a-missing-58-foot-long-bridge-seriously\">reported<\/a>, the bridge was originally removed in the early 2000s \u201cas part of a creek and wetlands restoration project and had been stored in a nearby field.\u201d The city apparently had plans to use the bridge for a different project, until they realized last month that someone had stolen the \u201ctreated deck boards.\u201d A week later, the rest of the bridge had disappeared.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have not heard of anything that large \u2014 albeit it disassembled but actually stolen, I can\u2019t think of anything comparable in my 22 years [at the Akron Police Department],\u201d Lt. Michael Miller <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news5cleveland.com\/news\/local-news\/akron-canton-news\/grand-span-heist-akron-police-searching-for-bridge-thieves\">told<\/a> News 5 Cleveland. \u201cWe know it will be met with mystery and questions:who [sic] and how and why? All of those are unanswered. It ranks high on the list of mysteries, that\u2019s for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Police told the outlet that the bridge was estimated to be worth $40,000 to the city, but News 5 reported that \u201cthe polymer-based material that the bridge was made out of makes it largely worthless to a scrapper or recycler.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt may not have been as complicated as we first thought. Essentially the bridge is made of some sort of polymer. It\u2019s connected by some bolts. If you have any equipment, sockets, and things of that nature, it wouldn\u2019t have been very difficult at all to begin the process of disassembling that,\u201d Miller told the outlet. \u201cIt\u2019s described as a big Lego-like device.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Police are asking the community if they have any leads that might catch the bridge thieves.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSomeone that might mistakenly think there is a particular scrapping value of that particular material. Maybe they are mistaken and now they\u2019re stuck with, \u2018well, what do we do with it?\u201d Lt. Miller said. \u201cIt went beyond impulsive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fox 8&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/fox8.com\/news\/akron-police-investigating-after-58-foot-bridge-went-missing\/\">reported<\/a>&nbsp;that the bridge was once open to pedestrians \u201calong the Little Cuyahoga River in Middlebury Run Park, which sits in the shadow of Goodyear World Headquarters on Akron\u2019s East End.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The outlet noted that tracks in the field near the park where the bridge was being kept indicated the thieves used one or more trucks to remove the bridge. Miller told Fox 8 that whoever stole it could be using it \u201cor a variety of different things to include as simple as landscaping or they could use it for some other engineering project, some other large scale project.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
