$2 Thousand Reward Posted in Theft of Mausoleum Gates
Published: November 3, 2009
COLUMBUS, Ohio
A $2,000 reward is being offered for information on the theft of bronze gates from a historic mausoleum in Ohio.
Authorities say some 20 gates each weighing about 100 pounds were removed from the fronts of crypts at Green Lawn Abbey in Columbus on Oct. 11 and 12. The reward posted by Central Ohio Crime Stoppers over the weekend is for information received by Nov. 11 that leads to an arrest or indictment.
Investigators have believed the gates were stolen for scrap and issued an arrest warrant last week for a 31-year-old man they say sold parts of some of the gates to a scrap dealer. Police believe other individuals also were involved.
The two-story mausoleum built in 1927 resembles a Greek temple with four columns.
