Cook County Team Recovers 25,000 Pounds of Stolen Seeq Protein Powder From Bridgeview Warehouse

The sheriff’s Organized Retail Crime Unit says it is now building theft cases based on the recovery.

Overview

  • Deputies recovered the load on Dec. 23 from a Bridgeview warehouse during a cargo theft investigation.
  • The seized Seeq products weighed more than 25,000 pounds and were valued at over $500,000, according to the sheriff’s office.
  • The probe began after a supply‑chain company reported a large shipment of protein powder missing earlier in December.
  • Investigators determined the goods were likely in Illinois and are collecting evidence to build a theft case, with no arrests or charges announced.
  • The operation follows a separate recovery about a week earlier of stolen coffee products taken from a Whiteside County facility and found at a Melrose Park warehouse.
