ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) - Talk about a strong-arm robbery.
Campus police say thieves swiped 200 lead bricks sometime over the weekend or on Monday from the University of Michigan.
The bricks weigh a total of 5,000 pounds and are worth about $2,000. They are used as barriers to contain radiation in scientific experiments.
Police tell The Ann Arbor News the thieves may have made off with their heavy haul intending to sell the bricks as scrap metal.
