Massachusetts Men Accused of Stealing Storm Grates
Benjamin Sisson and Kristofer Williams are scheduled to be arraigned Monday in Falmouth District Court on larceny and receiving stolen property charges.
A state police trooper pulled the Falmouth men over in Plymouth at about 10:30 a.m. Saturday after receiving a description of a truck and two men thought responsible for the thefts from Fairhaven, Mattapoisett, Bourne and Wareham.
Police were tipped off by a New Bedford scrap metal dealer who refused to buy the metal.
The grates, worth about $250 each, were returned to the towns.
Police say there is a public safety risk of vehicles or people falling into uncovered storm drains.
