BENNINGTON, Vt. -- Four people from Vermont are in trouble with the law, for taking part in a bizarre crime.

Police say the group tried to take the giant pepper sign off a Chili's restaurant in Bennington.

They say the group ran 470 feet of extension cord across a four lane highway and through a Home Depot parking lot to power an electric drill they planned to use to remove the sign early Sunday morning.

The group was stopped when the restaurant's alarm went off, but officers say they planned to make their getaway with the sign in an SUV.
