Thieves Steal 100,000 Eggs Worth $40,000 in Pennsylvania

The theft, linked to soaring egg prices due to avian flu, has left authorities baffled as investigations continue.

Approximately 100,000 eggs were stolen from a trailer in Greencastle, Pennsylvania, on Saturday evening, with a retail value exceeding $40,000.
Police have no leads on the perpetrators and are appealing to the public for information to aid the investigation.
The eggs were taken from a trailer belonging to Pete and Gerry’s Organics, a producer of organic eggs, which has not commented further due to ongoing investigations.
Egg prices in the U.S. have surged significantly, driven by avian flu outbreaks that have decimated chicken populations, leading to supply shortages.
This unusual crime highlights the impact of the egg price crisis, with some restaurants and retailers introducing surcharges and consumers facing record-high prices.
