WEST LIBERTY, Ky. - Construction on an eastern Kentucky school has been delayed by thieves who stole a trailer full of aluminum support bars.

WKTY-TV in Lexington reported the theft occurred at the construction site for Wrigley Elementary School in West Liberty.

The school is being built to replace a school destroyed in the March 2 tornado outbreak.

Contractor Brian Wells, owner of the Wells Group, said the trailer and support bars are worth $13,000.
