Bridge nicked

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-metre metal bridge, which he then chopped up and sold as scrap, the statement said.
