Three out-of-state men were arrested and charged with felony theft after they were caught trying to steal scrap metal from a Cadiz business, police said.
Cadiz police responded to a complaint about someone taking scrap metal from a bin at Benson International on Industrial Drive around noon Wednesday.
Employees at the business locked a gate and stopped the men from leaving.
Police arrested Terry Frank, 21, of Norwood, Pa., and Alex Williams, 19, and Teddy Marks, 21, both of Wichita, Kansas, and charged them with theft by unlawful taking or disposition.
The men had loaded a utility trailer nearly half full with metal and aluminum without the permission of the business, witnesses told police. They had unloaded the metal when police arrived.
