Police in Pennsylvania are working to solve a theft case after around 100,000 organic eggs, worth about $40,000, were stolen over the weekend. The incident happened in Greencastle, Pennsylvania, which is located about 65 miles southwest of Harrisburg, the state capital. The eggs were taken from the back of a trailer parked outside Pete & Gerry’s Organics on Saturday night at about 8:40 p.m.
The Pennsylvania State Police from Chambersburg responded to the scene and found that 100,000 eggs had been stolen from the trailer. These eggs were estimated to be worth around $40,000. The police have not shared any details on how the theft happened without anyone noticing, nor have they given any information on possible leads or suspects in the case.
Pete & Gerry’s Organics, the company involved, has been around since the 1980s but switched to organic farming in 1997. They pride themselves on high farming standards and animal care. The company says it is committed to making a positive impact in the community and has received recognition for its charitable efforts, diversity, and education programs. Pete & Gerry’s works with over 200 independent, family-owned farms, mainly in New England, the Mid-Atlantic, and the Midwest. The farms are small, often operated by one family, ensuring hands-on care for their hens.
The company’s eggs are known for being organic and high quality. Pete & Gerry’s Organics is well-regarded for its efforts to support its farmers, their families, and the environment.
The police are still investigating the theft, and anyone who has information is asked to contact the Pennsylvania State Police in Chambersburg. The case remains open, and authorities are working hard to figure out how such a large amount of eggs could be stolen without being noticed.
This crime highlights the importance of securing valuable goods during transport and the challenges businesses face when goods are stolen, especially in large quantities. The ongoing investigation is expected to provide more details in the coming days.
As of now, there are no updates on potential suspects or how the thieves managed to carry out the theft without being seen. Police are encouraging the public to come forward with any information that might help with the case.
