Brothers charged with sewer grate theft appear in court

KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa. (WPVI) -- Two Montgomery County brothers accused of stealing $100,000 worth of sewer grates faced a judge Wednesday in King of Prussia.

Brian and John Vetrulli waived their preliminary hearing on theft charges.

Police say they lifted hundreds of iron storm grates from parking lots throughout the area - in Philadelphia, Plymouth Meeting, Abington and several other townships.

They remain jailed and their bail was re-set to $3,000.
