SARAJEVO (Reuters) - Six scrap metal dealers have been arrested for stealing an Austro-Hungarian-era 13-meter-long iron bridge, Bosnian police said Friday .
"The six dismantled the iron bridge built 150 years ago and sold its parts to a nearby junk yard last week for 280 Bosnian marka ($174)," a spokesman for the regional interior ministry Drazen Mustapic told Reuters by telephone.
He said the police were alerted by villagers near the southern town of Mostar who saw the gang loading the bridge parts into vans.
The six men, identified by the police as Roma, were arrested this week and are being held pending prosecution, Mustapic said.
