Pennsylvania State Trooper Megan Frazer, who is investigating the case, told Reuters that in her dozen years on the force she has never before encountered an egg theft.
“This is a major felony, given the value of what was taken,“ she said of the theft that happened Saturday in Greencastle, Pennsylvania, about 65 miles (105 km) southwest of Harrisburg, the state capital.
More than 13 million hens have been slaughtered or lost since December, according to the U.S. Agriculture Department’s latest egg markets overview.
Some store shelves are bare and the ubiquitous breakfast restaurant Waffle House has imposed a 50-cent surcharge per egg, multiple media have reported.
The stolen eggs were taken from a trailer at Pete and Gerry’s Organics warehouse shortly before 9 p.m. on Saturday, the police report said. A spokesperson for the company did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
