BALTIMORE (AP) — Baltimore police say four young men stole the 4-foot aluminum No. 8 that commemorates Orioles great Cal Ripken outside Camden Yards.

The four were arrested early Wednesday, about two hours after the theft, and the monument was recovered.

Police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi says surveillance camera footage shows the four men removing the monument and placing it in the back of a pickup truck.

They were later arrested in east Baltimore. The suspects are 18-year-old Patrick Reynolds, 19-year-old Jason Stonebuner, 19-year-old Matthew Rayner and 19-year-old Gary Parker. Parker is from Baltimore, while the other three are from Essex.

Guglielmi says they will be charged with theft and destruction of property.
