(WSBT) Two St. Joseph County men are in custody for stealing scrap metal in Elkhart County.

Police arrested 21-year-old Joseph Kozakiewicz and 21-year-old Brian Banasiewicz last week.

The two were caught red-handed taking metal from the Franklin RV Coach plant in Nappanee.

That plant was hit by last month's tornado.

Police say they also stole items from several construction sites in Mishawaka.

They now face preliminary charges of burglary and possession of stolen property.

Yep, it's time to make these criminals pay back society------sentence them to years of trash clean up and make them do it, in all kinds of weather.

That is the lowest kind of person! after all the damage and loss in Napanee and these two had the cahonies to steal from them. They should be put to work cleaning and rebuilding to make up for it.
