Jury selection has begun in a case against two men charged with illegally removing asbestos from an old theater building in Massachusetts, reported the Worcester Telegram & Gazette on July 1, 2008.

The men are charged with causing asbestos to be released into the air and removing asbestos without notifying the proper authorities or complying with vital safety procedure.

According to the article, someone placed an anonymous complaint and cited a possible asbestos hazard at the theater building, which is now home to a restaurant and down the road from a senior citizen residence.

Reportedly, an inspector had initially noticed that asbestos insulation on heat pipes in the building was in poor condition and needed to be removed.

A few months later, the inspector returned to the building and noticed that the dangerous asbestos insulation hadn't been remedied.

However, previously, the two men involved in this suit had said they had completed the job.
