The men were charged with grand larceny for the theft of 2,000 bushels of corn and 120 rods of wire fencing. ... The gang operated four trucks, stealing the corn at night and selling it in Nashville, Tenn., police said. They face possible federal prosecution for transporting stolen property across state lines.
