Two Maryland men were arrested for stealing two massive sets of elk antlers from a National Rifle Association meeting in Pittsburgh.

Police said Gary Felts, 46, of Joppa, Md., and Stephen Lee, 44, of Cumberland, Md., hauled the antlers away Sunday while the owner was waiting to load the antlers truck. The vendor reported the theft and the men were detained on a sidewalk with the antlers, valued at more than $500,000, police said.

Police said Felts and Lee worked for Brede Exposition Services in Beltsville.
