SPRINGFIELD, Ohio -- Deputies in Clark County said they are grateful for the watchful eyes of two attendants at a recycling center.

Deputies said someone stole about $2,500 worth of steel pipes from Mad River Steel in New Carlisle on Sunday night. They said the two men then took the steel pipes to be recycled on Monday.

Workers at Stakers Recycling in Springfield called deputies, who sealed off the entrance to the recycling center and the two men were arrested. The men face several charges.
