PA Man Nabbed for Printing Plate Theft

WILKES-BARRE, PA—An employee for a cleaning company apparently tried to clean out a newspaper's supply of aluminum printing plates worth $19,000, but the paper's surveillance cameras caught him in the act.

Eric Redick, 49, was recorded taking the plates from The Times Leader, that newspaper reported. Following an audit that revealed 230 boxes had gone missing during a stretch of several months, the newspaper notified police.
