Lead Bricks Stolen
GOT THE LEAD OUT: 5,000 pounds of lead bricks stolen from the University of Michigan
They are painted blue, weigh about 25 pounds each and are collectively worth about $2,000. The bricks are used as barriers to contain radiation for scientific experiments, Neumann said.
Police believe the thieves may have stole the bricks to sell as scrap metal.
Hopefully, the bricks weren’t currently being used to contain radiation.
