Historic Plaque Thief Arrested

Officers in San Diego have finally caught up with one thief that has a strange object of desire - bronze historic plaques.

Starting in June, people living around San Diego noticed that their bronze historical plaques were disappearing. They were being stolen from public buildings, old homes and in various neighborhoods that are part of the historical district. Even though the residents started to alert one another to the thefts, the thief continued his reign of terror. With each plaque costing between $400 and $1,200, the bandit was making quite a bundle by melting down the bronze and selling it.

After reviewing the details of the theft crimes, police had an idea of who was behind the thefts. Now that he is behind bars, the department has reason to believe that there may be one or two accomplices who aided the suspect.
