Two Central Florida men were arrested Monday on suspicion they stole horns from a train and attempted to hook them up to a truck, Local 6 News reported.Eustis police said Richard Etienne and Mark Wortsman were charged with grand theft in connection with the stolen train horns at Inland Lake Railway in Eustis.Earlier this month, an official at the railway noticed a horn was missing during inspection of a train. Since all equipment must be working for the train to be allowed to travel on the tracks, a crane was called to move the locomotive and put it out of commission until it could be repaired.Other horns were also reported missing.Eustis police received a tip that the horns were with Wortsman and Etienne after a tip was reported that the pair were allegedly showing off the five orange horns and trying to get them to work.During questioning, Etienne confessed to police that they stole the horns.The horns cost more than $2,000 to replace.Watch Local 6 News for more on this story.
