A semitrailer with about 12,000 pounds of aluminum was reported stolen from a recycling plant south of New Richland Monday, according to the Waseca County Sheriff&8217;s Office.

The semitrailer has since been recovered, though the aluminum was not.

&8220;With the scrap prices being so high, individuals are being able to take it and sell it off,&8221; said Chief Deputy Brad Milbrath with the Waseca County Sheriff&8217;s Office.

New laws have helped deter some of these situations, but some are still occurring, Milbrath said.
