The Pennsylvania whodunit involving the theft of 100,000 eggs from the rear of a trailer is still unsolved by authorities.
According to Pennsylvania State Police spokesperson Trooper First Class Megan Frazer, no leads have been found four days after the heist that authorities believe may be related to the exorbitant price of eggs.
We’re depending on community members for leads. According to her, we’re hoping that someone knows something and will call us with some advice.
As investigators work to unravel the mystery, they are also contacting potential witnesses and reviewing security footage that may help them identify the culprit.
I have never heard of a hundred thousand eggs being taken in my professional life. Frazer, who has been with the company for 12 years, stated that this is undoubtedly unique.
Millions of hens are being killed each month due to bird flu, which will cause egg costs in the United States to more than treble by the summer of 2023. And with Easter coming up, it looks like there might not be any respite in sight.
In December, the average cost of a dozen eggs throughout the country was $4.15. Although it’s not nearly as high as the record of $4.82 established two years ago, the Agriculture Department estimates that egg prices will rise by an additional 20% this year.
According to police, the 100,000 eggs were stolen from the rear of the Pete & Gerry’s Organics delivery trailer in Antrim Township on Saturday at approximately 8:40 p.m.
According to Frazer, this crime is a felony because they are valued at almost $40,000.
In a statement, Pete & Gerry’s Organics LLC stated that it is investigating the theft in conjunction with law police.
According to the statement, “We take this matter seriously and are committed to resolving it as quickly as possible.”
